Replacing the side cover
If you removed the support bracket or bezel, reinstall it before you replace the side
cover. See “Removing and installing the support bracket” on page 13 and
“Replacing the bezel” on page 34..
Note: The rear adapter retaining bracket rests against the server side cover. You
might find it easier to lay the server on its side to replace the side cover.
Complete the following steps to replace the side cover:
1. Before installing the cover, check that all cables, adapters, and other
components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose
tools or parts inside the server.
2. Place the bottom lip of the side cover over the bottom edge of the server
chassis.
3. Rotate the side cover to a vertical position, inserting the tabs at the top of the
side cover into the matching slots in the server chassis.
4. Slide the side cover forward until it locks in place. Press down on the
cover-release-latch button as you close the cover-release latch to lock the side
cover.
