After finishing the installation of a Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6 cluster, a customer asks the platform engineer to demonstrate the proper way to remove and replace the front node bezel. They remove the bezel successfully.
What is the correct way to replace the bezel?
After removing the bezel from a Dell EMC PowerScale Gen 6 node, it's important to reinstall it correctly to maintain proper airflow and protect the hardware.
Steps to Replace the Bezel:
Alignment:
Align Bezel Ends with Clips:
Position the bezel in front of the node chassis.
Ensure that the ends of the bezel are aligned with the corresponding clips or slots on the chassis.
Attachment:
Press the Bezel Center:
Gently but firmly press the center of the bezel.
This action engages the clips on both ends simultaneously, securing the bezel to the chassis.
Why Option D is Correct:
Proper Technique:
Aligning the bezel ends with the clips ensures correct positioning.
Pressing the bezel center allows for even engagement of the clips, preventing misalignment or damage.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
Option A:
Checking for red LEDs is good practice but not directly related to bezel replacement.
Securing with thumb screws is not applicable as Gen 6 bezels typically do not use thumb screws.
Option B:
Pressing the left side and then the right side may not ensure proper alignment and could cause the bezel to be uneven.
Option C:
Pushing on the bezel ends without proper alignment may result in the clips not engaging correctly.
