Remove the front bezel from the DIGITAL custom AlphaServer 4100 chassis by pressing in at the bottom of
the two pull loops on the front bezel to rotate them down and out from the bezel and using them to pull the
bezel away from the chassis.

Place the DC On/Off button on the DIGITAL custom AlphaServer 4100 operator control panel in the Off
