Front-Panel, Guide and Grounding Hardware
Nineteen further catalogue part numbers in the same manual complete the module interface: the front panel itself, the guide pins and bush that align the module on insertion, the retaining hooks and hinge brackets that hold the panel, and the grounding posts that bond the module to the chassis. They are supplied against the drawing rather than a dimension table.
