Removing the front bezel and top cover

The chassis cover protects the internal components. You must remove the front bezel and top cover to access the internal components.

To remove the cover:

1. Shut down the system and remove the AC power cords.
2. For a stackable (desktop) configuration: Remove any units stacked on top of the machine you must access.
3. Remove the bezel (plastic cover) on the front of the chassis. See figure Removing or replacing the front bezel.
1. Press down on the two tabs on the top of the bezel.
2. Tilt the bezel forward, and then lift it out.
4. Loosen the screw latch for the top cover located on the back of the chassis. See figure Removing or replacing the cover.
5. For a rack-mount unit: Slide the machine forward.

   Note: To get sufficient cable slack, you might need to unplug the cables on the back of the machine to slide it all the way forward. See figure: MSS standard configuration (back view) MSS high-availability configuration (back view) Messaging Application Server (back view)

6. Slide the top cover towards the front of the unit to release it, and then lift it off the chassis.
7. The internal components are now accessible for replacement. See figure:
• MSS standard configuration (internal view)
• MSS high-availability configuration (internal view)
• Messaging Application Server (internal view)
