Installing the Top Cover

Completing the Installation

To complete your installation, you must reinstall the top and side
covers, and reconnect all the cables that you disconnected in
“Preparing to Install Options” on page 78. Follow the instructions
in this section.

Installing the Top Cover

Before you begin:
Be sure you have:
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling
Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77 (or your safety booklet).
Turned off peripheral devices (see “Preparing to Install
Options” on page 78).
12 Attention: Do not damage or displace the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) gaskets mounted on the cover. Replace
any damaged gaskets, or your server might not meet EMI
requirements.
To install the server top cover, do the following steps:
1. Before installing a side cover, make sure that you have not left
loose tools or parts inside the server. Check that all cables,
adapters, and other components are installed and seated
correctly.
2. Lower the cover with the front edge about one inch back from
the bezel edge. The leading corners of the cover should be
outside the chassis metal.
3. Pull the cover toward the back slightly to make sure that it is
aligned correctly.
