Front subchassis and rear electronics bay

The server chassis consists of three parts, which include the following:

•Main chassis

•Front subchassis (sometimes called the C-tilt)

•Rear electronics bay

Both the front subchassis and the rear electronics bay swing open. Additionally, you can completely remove them to gain access to the server’s internal components. You can more easily open and remove the front subchassis and electronics bay if the system is laying on its side (rack-mount orientation).

Opening the front subchassis and rear electronics bay

The front subchassis must be opened slightly to allow the rear electronics bay to open because the front subchassis overlaps the rear electronics bay.

1Remove the front and rear access covers (refer to page 46 and page 44).

2To open the front subchassis, grasp the edge of the bezel and swing the front subchassis out until the spring clip at the top of the subchassis just springs open.

3To open the rear electronics bay:

a Disconnect all cables attached to the mainboard.
