The Altos R710 Server must be operated with the top cover in place to ensure proper cooling. You will need to
remove the top cover to add or replace components inside of the platform. Before removing the top cover,
power down the server system and unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cable. None of the
components inside of the platform is hot-swappable.
NOTE: A nonskid surface or a stop behind the chassis amy be needed to prevent the chassis from sliding on
your work surface.
1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.
2. Disconnect the AC pwoer cord.
3. Remove the shipping screw if it is installed. (See the figure below, step 1)
4. While holding the blue botton at the top of the chassis in, slide the top cover back until it stops. (See the
figure below, step 2)
5. Lift the cover straight up to remove it from the platform. (See the figure below, step 3)
