Opening and Closing the Server
1 Shut down the server.
Be sure to wait a brief period to allow the server’s internal components to cool.
2 If the cable-management arm is not in use for all cables, unplug all cables from the back panel
except the power cord. If a FireWire cable is connected to the front panel, disconnect it too.
Insert the drive module into the open bay
and push on the handle until the module is
firmly seated and the handle latches into position.
Important
Be sure to save the blank drive module if you removed one. A blank module
should always be placed in an empty drive bay to maintain proper airflow through the server.
Warning Always shut down your server before opening it to avoid damaging its internal
components or the components you want to install. Do not open the server or attempt to
install items inside it while it is turned on. After shutting down your server, the internal
components can be very hot. Let the computer cool down before continuing.
