Removing and Replacing the Side Panels

CAUTION:

For stand-alone racks, reinstalling the side panels is necessary

before running systems in the rack to ensure proper cooling within the rack.

NOTE:

You must remove the lower 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 Upper Side Panels

1 Push both latches up and swing the bottom end of the panel away

from the rack (see Figure 1-4).

2 Grasp firmly on each side of the panel.
3 Lift the panel upward until the panel lip clears the top of the rack.
4 Lay 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 upper side panel.

Replacing the Upper Side Panels

1 Lift the upper side panel up onto the rack, hooking the panel lip over the

top of the rack (see Figure 1-4).

2 Swing the bottom of the panel downward onto the rack.
3 Press the panel into the rack until both latches lock into place.
