Removing the PCA Front Panel Board

To remove the PCA front panel board, follow these steps:
1. Follow proper procedures to power off the server.
2. Remove the front bezel and the top and left side covers.
3. Disconnect the DVD power cable from the mass storage backplane.
4. Disconnect the front panel cable from the system backplane.
5. Unscrew the captive fastener on the common tray cage cover. The cover has two ferrites
with cables attached to it.
6. Slide the common tray cage cover to the rear and lift. Place the cable as far back as possible
to enhance access to the front panel.
7. Remove the front panel bezel by removing the two M3 screws. After the screws are removed,
press the tab in the center of the bezel to release the bezel.
8. Remove the two screws revealed upon removing the bezel.
9. Place your right hand on the PCA front panel cable near the entrance to the cavity. With
your left hand, reach over the top of the chassis and by curling your fingers, reach into the
cavity containing the PCA front panel.
10. The PCA front panel bracket has a small sheet metal wall that acts as a handle. This handle
is located at the center of the height and width relative to the cavity.
Place your left hand under the handle and simultaneously, gently lift the handle upward
and pull on the cable. This action disengages the tabs on the PCA front panel from the slots
on the common tray cage.
