To remove the server from an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party rack:
1.
Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page
18
).
2.
Extend the server from the rack.

Disconnect the cabling and remove the server from the rack. For more
information, refer to the documentation that ships with the rack mounting

Removing the access panel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot
surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to
cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the
access panel open or removed. Operating the server in this manner
results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
IMPORTANT: When removing the access panel to view QuickFind
diagnostic LEDs, leave the server powered on. The QuickFind
diagnostic LEDs are cleared when the server is powered off.
1.
Extend the server from the rack, if applicable.
2.
If the locking latch is locked, use a Torx T-15 screwdriver to unlock the
latch.
NOTE: The T-15 Torx screwdriver is shipped with the server and
can be located on the rear panel ("Rear panel components" on page
98
).
