Replacing the top cover (Customer task)

You might need to replace the FlashSystem 9200R rack top cover.

About this task

Note: You must use a 6-point (pt) socket with an extension bar to install the bolts for the top cover. Other tools might cause the bolt heads to become rounded and difficult to remove.

Procedure

To replace the rack top cover onto the rack, complete the following steps.

  1. Position the rack top cover on the rack.
  2. Install the screws.
  3. Torque the screws to 5.6 N-m (4.13 ft lb).
  4. Remove the rack braces by unfastening them at the top of the rack, just below the top cover. Remove the braces at the front and rear of the rack.
  5. Install rack filler panels to cover open areas at the front of the rack. Seal all gaps in the front of the rack, including the gaps between pieces of equipment. Rack airflow is maintained when the gaps are sealed.
