Removing and Installing the Server Cover

Removing the Server System Cover

The server system must be operated with the cover in place to ensure proper cooling. You will need to remove the cover to add or replace components inside of the server.

None of the internal components are hot-swappable. Before removing the server system cover, power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable.

Note: A nonskid surface or a stop behind the server system may be needed to prevent the server system 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 screw from the rear of the system. See letter “A” in the figure below.

5.Remove the two screws from the top of the system, at the front edge. See letter “B” in the figure.

6.Push rearward on the top cover to slide the cover about 3/4 inch, until it stops, then lift up on the cover to remove it. See letter “C”.
