6 - Xserve G5 Take Apart Opening the Server
Opening the Server
The server slides open from the front of the rack. The server’s top cover remains in place
in the rack; the bottom housing (containing all internal components) should be placed on a
sturdy, flat surface.
Tools
No tools are required for this procedure. You may, however, find a Phillips screwdriver
useful in releasing the thumbscrews in step 1 below.
Preliminary Steps
Before you begin this procedure, write down the server’s serial number located on the
back panel. If it is necessary to set up the server’s software after service is complete, the
serial number will be required for login.
