Preparing for System Component Installation or Replacement
Opening the Main Chassis Top Covers
This system has three hinged top covers on the main chassis. Opening these covers gives access to the
internal-drives compartment and the fan module compartment.
Note
The internal drives and cooling fans in the system are hot-swappable and are accessed by opening the
top covers. When you rack and cable the system, be sure to allow enough slack in the power and other
cables so that the system can be pulled out on the slide rails far enough to allow clearance for opening
the top covers.
Step 1
Open the left or right internal-drive compartment cover to access the hot-swappable internal drives:
a.
For either the right or left side cover, pull the latch release buttons on both latches toward the outer
edges of the chassis. This causes the spring-loaded latches to pop up.
b.
With both latches open, swing open the hinged cover from the center toward the outside.
c.
To secure the cover, close it down flat and then push both latches flat until they click and lock.
Step 2
Open the fan compartment cover to access the hot-swappable fan modules:
a.
Push both latch-buttons toward the center.
b.
While holding both latch-buttons, open the hinged cover from the center toward the rear.
c.
To secure the cover, hold both latch-buttons while you close the cover flat. Release the latch-buttons.
