To remove the server top cover:

drive, hot-swap power supply, or hot-swap fan, turn off the server and all attached
devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. Release the left and right side latches and pull the server out of the rack
enclosure until both slide rails lock.
Note: When the server is in the locked position, you can reach the cables on the
back of the server.

the cover removed might damage server components.
