Replacing the Back Doors
To replace the back doors, perform the steps for removal in reverse.
Removing and Replacing the Side Panels
CAUTION: Reinstalling the side panels is necessary before running systems
in the rack to ensure proper cooling within the rack.
NOTE: You must remove the side panels in order to install the side stabilizer feet.
NOTE: Although removing the side panels is not mandatory for installing systems in
a rack, having the sides open makes it easier to install slide assemblies and support
rails and to reverse the direction that the front door opens.
Removing the Side Panels
1
Pull both latches down and allow the side panel to swing outward slightly
at the top (see Figure 1-4).
2
Firmly grasp the sides of the panel.
3
Lift the panel upward until the panel hooks clear the holes in the bottom
of the rack frame.
4
Place the panel in a safe location with the panel’s outer surface facing
upward to help prevent damage to its cosmetic coating.
5
Repeat step 1 through step 4 for the other side panel.
Replacing the Side Panels
1
Lower the panel into the rack, inserting the back panel hook into the back
hole in the bottom of the rack frame and the front hook into the
corresponding hole in the front of the rack frame (see Figure 1-4).
2
Swing the top end of the panel towards the rack.
3
Press the panel into the rack until both latches lock into place.
