HPE ML310e Gen8 v2 Server

HPESys — Tue, 16 May 2017 16:33:20 GMT

Hi,

I have 3 HP HPE ML310e Gen8 v2 Servers for which I don't have the front bezel keys. I want to know how can I open the front bezel lock without keys? Would the key work if I order a new front bezel and use the keys that come along with it to unlock the front bezels of the 3 servers I have? Are the keys unique?

Please share your experiences. My requirement is to somehow unlock the front bezels.

Thanks.

IMHO the keys are unique.

you probably can only destroy the bezel.

Thanks for the response.

So I will have to destroy the bezels of 3 servers. Wondering how can I do that? How can I get it unlocked? This seems to be bad on HP's part. They should be having some way to unlock it or disassemble the server somehow to get it unlocked?

Any suggest on what I can do with the bezel to open it?

That would kind of defeat the whole purpose of being able to lock the Server would it not? The keys are normally attached to the fan vent on the rear of the server, have you made sure they are not hanging there?
