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:
1
Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on
page 45 . Make sure you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord
and all other cables connected to the server.
2
If the front cover is installed, unlock it, then pull it off.
3
If the server is mounted in a cabinet, remove the server from the cabinet.
For instructions, see
“Removing the server from a cabinet” on page 19 .
4
Place the server on a stable, non-skid surface.
Warning For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the top
panel before you turn on the server. Operating the server
without the panel in place will cause the server to overheat.
Warning Screws are required to support the front of the server when
using the standard cabinet rails. You must support the
server while removing the front screws and while sliding
the server off the cabinet rails.
