Installing a Blank Front Panel
To install the blank front panel:
1 Attach the ESD-preventive wrist strap to your bare wrist and connect the metal end to the ground
receptacle at the top left corner of the BlackDiamond chassis.

Make sure that the EMI gasket is on the top of the panel and the stenciled part number is right side

3 Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to tighten the captive screws at each end of the blank front panel.
NOTE
Tighten the screws of each installed blank front panel before inserting additional modules or blank front panels.
Otherwise, you might unseat modules or blank front panels that you have not secured.
NOTE
Leave the ESD-preventive wrist strap permanently connected to the chassis so that it is always available when you
need to touch ESD-sensitive components.
