Removing and Replacing the Front Bezel

Quantum Scalar i40 and Scalar i80 User’s Guide

201

Figure 47  Bezel Screws 

Thumbscrew 
securing library 
to rack

8

Pull the bezel straight out and off of the library. Do not tip or twist 
the bezel as you pull it off.

9

Install the new bezel straight onto the library. Do not tip or twist the 
bezel. Slide the top and bottom edges of the bezel to the inside of 
the top and bottom layers of the chassis sheet metal. On the Scalar 
i80, the bezel will “snap” into place. Install the two top screws, then 
the two bottom screws.

Caution:

 Make sure the power button and all four operator 
panel control buttons appear through the holes in the 

bezel and are not trapped beneath the bezel.
