Front Panel
The front panel is a one-piece assembly. The removable filler panels are
attached to the front panel and the corresponding EMI shields are attached to the
front of the chassis. If you are installing peripheral devices in the external bays
above the 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, you must remove the front cover along
with the corresponding filler panel and EMI shield.

1. Power off the system and remove the left and right side panels
as described earlier in this chapter.
Observe static precautions. Use an antistatic wrist strap.
2. Remove the front panel by first releasing the three tabs that secure the panel
to the left side of the system chassis. Then release the tabs that secure the
panel to the right side of the chassis. See Figure 4-28.
