Removing and Replacing the Top Cover

Access to internal components require moving the locked top server cover in both standalone and pedestal-installed environments.

NOTE: When the top cover is open or removed, the chassis fan units increase to high speed to assist cooling. When the top cover is replaced at the end of the operation, the chassis fans return to normal speed.

Removing the Top Cover

To remove the top cover, follow these steps:

1.If rack installed, fully extend the server out from the rack. See “Extending the Server from the Rack” (page 180).

2.Unlock the cover release lever by turning the cam approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise.

3.Pull up on the cover release lever to disengage the top cover from the chassis (Figure 6-3).
