Removing the Cisco 7507 and Cisco 7507-MX Top Front Panel
Step 3
Place one hand against the top front center of the panel to brace it. (See
Figure 6-6
a.) The top of the panel
acts as a pivot point when you pull the bottom out and away from the chassis.
Step 4
With your other hand, grasp the front of the panel by inserting your fingers into the opening on the
underside of the front plastic panel. (See the right hand in
Figure 6-6
a.)
Step 5
While pushing slightly against the top of the panel to constrain it, pivot the bottom edge of the frame
outward about 2 inches (5.08 cm). (See
Figure 6-6
a.) Because of the tightly compressed EMI shielding,
you will have to use significant force to pull the bottom of the panel outward. However, be careful that
you do not pull the panel more than 2 inches (5.08 cm) away from the chassis, or you might damage the
inner bezel or LED board.
Step 6
When the bottom of the frame clears the chassis opening, keep your hands in the same positions and pull
the panel down and off the chassis. (See
Figure 6-6
b.)
Note
Refer to the appropriate sections depending on the replacement procedures you need to perform. Then,
to replace the front chassis panel, proceed to the following procedure.
Use the following procedure to replace the front chassis panels:
Step 1
Grasp the sides of the top panel with both hands.
Step 2
Two guide tabs at the top edges of the panel fit into two slots in the top edges of the chassis opening. Tilt
the top of the panel back (away from you) about 30 degrees from vertical and slide the two guide tabs
into the chassis slots.
Step 3
Check the top of the panel to make sure it is lined up with the top of the chassis opening. Failure to align
the panel at this point can result in equipment damage when you perform the next step.
