Notes:
  • The information on the fascia should always match the information that is printed on the rear of the node. It should also match the information that is stored on the node midplane.
  • No tools are required to complete this task. Do not remove or loosen any screws on the node.

Procedure

  1. To remove the fascia, grasp the fascia by the left and right blue touch points.
  2. Pull the fascia straight out from the node, so that the left and the right ends of the fascia release at the same time.

What to do next

To replace a fascia, hold the fascia by the blue touch points on each end and align the fascia with the front of the node so the clips on the rear of the fascia align with the four mounting posts on the node. Then, press the ends of the fascia so that the clips engage with the mounting posts and the back of the fascia is flush against the front panel of the node.
