FXT 5000 Series Field Service Guide

(a) Verify that the safety latches operate properly by pulling the node forward and making sure that it stops

in its fully extended position.

(b) Verify that the rack and rail installation can safely hold the node’s weight in the extended position.

5. Slide the node into its final position in the rack.

6. To secure the node from sliding out of the rack, tighten the captive screws at the front of each rail.

8.5 Installing and Removing the Front Bezel

This section provides instructions for installing or removing the FXT 5000 Series’s front bezel (faceplate). Using the
bezel is optional.

The front bezel hides some indicator lights, including the power status indicator, and it prevents access to the node’s
power button. If you do not plan to power on the node immediately after installation, consider waiting to install the
bezel until after the node is up and running.

To install the front bezel:

1. Position the bezel with the decorative face outward and the latch to the left.

2. Hold the left side of the bezel away from the chassis and insert the two pins on the right side of the bezel into

the holes located on the node’s right side rack mount flange.

3. Press the bezel’s latch to the right to retract the two locking pins on the bezel’s left side.

4. Move the left side of the bezel into position so that the entire faceplate is flush with the node’s front panel.

5. Release the latch so that the two locking pins on the latch engage with the holes in the left side rack mount

flange. If the pins do not engage fully, adjust the bezel’s position. Make sure that it is pressed against the face
of the node chassis.

6. Pull on the bezel to test that it is correctly attached.

7. To ensure the bezel remains securely attached under all conditions, locking the bezel is recommended. Use the

key provided in the accessory kit.

To remove the front bezel:

1. If necessary, unlock the front bezel with the key provided in the accessory kit.

2. Press the latch tabs on the left side of the bezel to the right and gently pull the bezel, left to right, from the

node.
