Opening the server case
Because the components inside your server are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, make sure that you follow the instructions at the beginning of this
chapter to avoid static electricity damage.
To open the server case:
1
Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 25 .
2
Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
3
For more stability, place the server on its side.

If your case has a shipping thumbscrew installed on the back, remove the
screw, then push the cover release latches away from each other.
Warning For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the side
panel before you turn on the server. Operating the server
without the cover in place can damage server components.
