6. Set the main bay cover aside.
7. (Optional) If you need to replace the main bay cover with a new one, retrieve it from its container, inspect it for
damage, and orient it so to match the final removal position of the damaged one.
8. Fold the main bay cover in half, with the front half under and matching the rear half.
9. Orient the main bay cover hinges to the hinge pin slot.
10. Gently slide the hinge pins along the chassis until the hinges sink down into the hinge pin slot.
11. Carefully lower both halves toward the front until the front half engages in the locked position.
12. Lift the back half away from the front half, still resting the hinged section on the chassis until engaging the rear half
in the locked position.
IMPORTANT Do not proceed until you perform a visual inspection to verify all main bay cover edges connect
completely with supporting surfaces, both hinge mechanisms are at the bottom of the pin slots, and latches for both
halves fully engage.
13. Facing the front panel, carefully exert even pressure on both sides of the storage enclosure front and continue
insertion all the way into the rack until the mounting flange is flush with the rack ears, locking the storage enclosure
into the storage position. Do not force insertion, which could damage the rails.
14. Secure storage enclosure chassis flanges to the rack, fastening both top captive thumbscrews until tight.

CAUTION If you remove any FRU while the storage enclosure is powered up, you must replace it with a known
good spare within the allotted time for that FRU. If you do not replace the FRU and, when applicable, close the related
