Step 3: Install the Bezel (2U12 or 2U24 Chassis)
1. Orient the bezel to align its back side with the front face of the chassis as shown in the figure below.
2. Face the front of the chassis, and while supporting the base of the bezel, position it so that the mounting
sleeves within the integrated ear caps align with the ball studs.
3. Gently push-fit the bezel onto the ball studs to attach the bezel to the front of the chassis.

Populate QXS 48-Drive Drawers
Although the 2U48 chassis provides pre-assembled and pre-installed drawers, drives must be installed into
the drawers at the customer site. In addition to locating your drives—and any Air Management Solution
(AMS) inserts, you should become familiar with the following concepts before populating the drawers:
l
Full Disk Encryption (FDE) firmware feature (see FDE Considerations
).
l
Preventing electrostatic discharge (see About Electrostatic Discharge
).
Opening and Closing a Drawer
You can open a drawer for visual inspection of drive bays. Before accessing the drawer via its handle, you
must first remove the chassis bezel (see the QX and QXS Bezel Installation Guide). Given that the chassis
bezel is required to provide EMI protection, you should re-attach the bezel to the chassis after examining the
drawer (see the QX and QXS Bezel Installation Guide).
