CAUTION If you remove any FRU while the storage enclosure is powered up, you must replace it with a tested good
spare within the allotted time for that FRU. If you do not replace the FRU and, when applicable, close the related cover within
the identified time limit, you void the product warranty and the storage enclosure might overheat, causing equipment failure
and possible data loss.
To remove and replace the main bay cover:
1. Facing the front of the rack cabinet, loosen the storage enclosure chassis flanges by twisting the captive thumbscrew on
each side of the storage enclosure to the left.
2. Lower the pull handles, then gently and steadily pull the storage enclosure out until it locks in the service position.
3. After locating the main bay cover's rear latch, closest to the rear panel, push down on the green touch-point tab, then
release it by pressing the latch away from the rear panel and toward the hinge.
