Front bezel Installing the Expansion Enclosure in a Rack Install the SC100/SC120 expansion enclosure in a rack. NOTE: Mount the expansion enclosure in a manner that allows for expansion in the rack and prevents the rack from becoming top‐heavy. 1. Assemble the rails following the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your expansion enclosure. 2.
For more information about installing the expansion enclosure, see the Dell Storage Center SCv2000/SCv2020 Storage System Deployment Guide. Installing the Front Bezel Install the bezel on the front of the expansion enclosure. 1. Hook the right end of the bezel onto the expansion enclosure. Figure 3. Front Bezel 2. Insert the left end of the bezel into the securing slot until the release latch snaps into place. 3. Secure the bezel with the keylock.
