Removing a kickplate

Prerequisites
Procedure steps
241-1501-240 5.2S2
Remove a regular-sized kickplate from the front or rear base of a NEBS 2000
frame so that a kickplate extension can replace it as part of adding a door to
the frame, or so that you can access anchors bolts of a NEBS 2000 frame.
• You must be familiar with "Safety considerations and best practices"
(page 53).
• You need a medium slotted driver for the captive screws of the kickplate.
1 Unfasten the 2 captive screws at ends of the kickplate as shown in the
figure "Orientation of a standard kickplate to the base of a NEBS 2000
frame" (page 699).
2 If a grounding cable is attached to the kickplate, record where and
disconnect it. Refer to the figure "A standard kickplate" (page 700). Re-
connect the cable fastener to either the cable or the kickplate, whichever
is the most secure temporary storage.
3 Put the kickplate aside as a spare part for a NEBS 2000 frame that still
has the standard kickplate.
