Closing the case

Close the case as soon as you finish installing or removing components so that dust and dirt do not collect inside the server and to maintain the thermal characteristics of the server interior.

Caution

Operating the server with the top panel removed adversely

 

affects the thermal characteristics of the server interior and

 

can result in overheating of and possible damage to the

 

hard drives or the processors.

 

 

Replacing the top panel

You must replace the top panel before you can operate the server. If you do not, a system intrusion event is logged by the system management hardware. Be careful not to pinch any cables between the internal components and the top panel as you replace it.

To replace the top panel:

1Place the top panel on the top of the chassis approximately 3/4-inch back from the front of the server.

2Slide the panel toward the front of the chassis 3/4-inch, securing it in place.

3Replace the two thumbscrews you removed earlier.
