of the unit.

unit.
3. Push the panel sideways to be flush with the side of the
unit, then slide the panel towards the front of the unit.
Ensure that the tabs are seated securely in the slots.
4. Reinstall the thumb screw on the back of the unit to
secure the panel.
IMPORTANT: If this is a new appliance install, continue with
the SnapServer XSD 40 Quick Start Guide instructions.
