Removing the Doors From the Dell 42-U Rack
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury due to the size and weight of the
doors, never attempt to remove the doors by yourself.
1. Open the latch on the front door (see Figure 1-2).
Slide the push-button cover up as far as it will go, press the push button, rotate
the handle clockwise until the latch releases, and then pull the door open.
