Removing the side cover

The following information describes how to remove the side cover.

Note:

The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.

To remove the side cover from the server, do the following:

2. Turn off the server and all attached devices, and disconnect all external cables and

power cords.

3. If necessary, unlock the server cover.

4. Pull out on the cover-release latch at the rear of the server; then, slide the cover

toward the rear of the server and remove it.

Attention:

For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the

server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes) with
the cover removed might damage server components.

5. For a tower model, rotate the stabilizing feet on the bottom of the server, and

place the server on its side to install or remove components.
