Installing a disk drive bezel in a disk drive or filler

Learn how to install a disk drive bezel into a disk drive.

You must have removed the disk drive bezel from either a failed disk drive that had a bezel installed in it or from the disk drive filler. To remove a disk drive filler, see Removing a disk drive bezel from a disk drive or filler. Perform the steps in this procedure only if the disk drive or the disk drive filler removed had a disk drive bezel attached to it.
Note: If the disk drive bezel does not have a thumbscrew, it is not removable and is a SAS disk drive. The replacement SAS disk drive comes with an attached bezel.
  1. Attach the disk drive bezel (A) to the disk drive or to a disk drive filler.
    Attention:
    • Attach a wrist strap to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD) from damaging your hardware.
    • When using a wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. A wrist strap is for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
    • If you do not have a wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
  2. Press in and then tighten the thumbscrew (B) to secure the bezel to the disk drive or filler.
  3. Install the disk drive bezel latch (C) onto the front of the disk drive or filler, as shown in Figure 1.
