Removing the service access cover from a stand-alone 8286-41A system
Use this procedure to remove the service access cover from a stand-alone 8286-41A system.
Attention: The system must be powered off before removing the top cover. Operating the system
without the cover for more than 30 minutes might damage the system components.
To remove the service access cover from a stand-alone system, complete the following steps:
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
2. Release the latch by pushing the release latch (A) in the direction shown.
3. Slide the cover (B) off the system unit. When the front of the service access cover has cleared the
upper frame ledge, lift the cover up and off the system unit.
Attention:
For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the system.
