Installing or replacing the fascia
During the initial installation process or after you perform service, you can install the fascia components
on the front of a 5U expansion enclosure.
About this task
The 4U fascia covers the display panel of the expansion enclosure. It is attached to the enclosure by four
screws. The bottom 1U fascia covers both of the power supply units (PSUs) on the enclosure. As Figure
28 on page 43 shows, the fascias are independent; you can remove or replace one without having to
remove or replace the other.
