b. Front panel
The front panel of the RDX A8 is constructed of durable plastic and is designed to provide both visual
appeal and protection from entry of dust/dirt. The eight spring-loaded cartridge bay doors prevent entry
of dust when no cartridge is inserted, protect the unit from ESD, and control the cooling airflow through
the device. The bezel surface may be cleaned with a water dampened lint free cloth.
