Left-side cover
To remove the left-side cover of the tower model:
1. Review the information in “Before you begin” on
page 61.
2. If you are planning to install or remove any part other
than a hot-swap hard disk drive or hot-swap power
supply, turn off the server and all attached devices and
disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. Slide the cover-release lever on the front of the server
to release the cover; then, slide the cover toward the
rear of the server about 25 mm (1 inch). Move the top
edge of the cover out from the server; then, lift the
cover off the server. 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.
