Question 82 - D-PSC-MN-01 discussion

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.
