16 Intel® Server Chassis SC5400 User’s Guide
Removing and Installing the Chassis Cover

Removing the Chassis Cover

The Intel® Server Chassis SC5400 must be operated with the top cover in place to ensure
proper cooling. You will need to remove the top cover to add or replace components
inside of the platform. Before removing the top cover, power down the server and unplug
all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.
Note: A non-skid surface or a stop behind the chassis may be needed to prevent the chassis from
sliding on your work surface.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book. See “Safety
Information” on page iii.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
3. Disconnect the AC power cord.
4. Remove the access cover screw if it is installed (see letter "A" in the following
figure). While holding in the blue button at the top of the chassis (see letter "B"),
slide the top cover back until it stops. Lift the cover outward to remove it.
