to remove and replace a front panel assembly. See the following topics:

Use ESD precautions when performing this procedure.
Removing the Front Panel

The replacement front panel does not include a DVD drive. You must remove the DVD
drive from the defective front panel and install it in the replacement front panel.
CAUTION
!
The DVD drive is not hot-pluggable: Remove and replace
the DVD drive only while the front panel is disconnected
from the system backplane.
