Opening the Subchassis and Electronics Bay
The chassis is comprised of three parts: the main chassis, a swing-out
subchassis at the front, and a swing-out subchassis, called the electronics
bay, at the rear. To access components in some instances, you must remove
the foam covers and swing away and/or completely remove the subchassis
and electronics bay.
To open the subchassis and electronics bay, you must first remove the foam
covers. The subchassis and electronics bays are secured using phillips head
screws.

electromotive compatibility (EMC) characteristics of the system. The
foam in the subchassis also forms the support structure for most of the
system fans.
