Page: 91 / 214

Before you begin
Important: You can remove the cover without powering off the expansion
enclosure. However, to maintain operating temperature, replace the cover within 15
minutes of its removal. When the cover is removed, the reduction in airflow
through the enclosure might cause the enclosure or its components to shut down
to protect from overheating.
Procedure
1. Use the slide rails to pull the enclosure out from the rack. See “Removing an
expansion enclosure from a rack: 2145-92F” on page 104 for details.
2. Slide the release latch (

3. Slide the cover toward the front of the expansion enclosure (

), as shown in
Figure 49.
4. Carefully lift the cover up, as shown in Figure 50.
