IBM XSERIES 220 manual Rotating the stabilizing feet, Removing the side cover

Rotating the stabilizing feet

The feet attached to the bottom cover rotate 90 degrees to provide additional stability for the server.

Place the server in an upright position; then, rotate the feet a quarter turn away from the server. Carefully position the server on its feet.

When you need to access the inside of the server to install options, you might find it easier to place the server on its side, so that the system board is facing you. If you do so, rotate the feet in towards the server, so that they do not break off due to the weight of the server.

Removing the side cover

The following information describes how to remove the side cover.
