Complete the following steps to remove the server top cover:
1. Review the information in “Safety information” on page 121, and “Handling
static-sensitive devices” on page 42.
2. If you are planning to install or remove a microprocessor, memory-module, PCI
adapter, or battery, turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect
all external cables and power cords (see “Turning off the server” on page 7).
3. Release the left and right side latches and pull the server out of the rack
enclosure until both slide rails lock.
Note: You can reach the cables on the back of the server when the server is in
the locked position.
4. Lift the cover-release latch. Lift the cover off the server and set the cover aside.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on
the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes)
with the cover removed might damage server components.
To remove the bezel:
1. Press in on the tabs on the top of the bezel, and rotate the bezel away from the
server front.
2. Store the bezel in a safe place
