Covers
The system comes with the following removable covers:
•
The left side cover provides access to the system board and fans.
•
The right side cover provides access to the power supplies, power-
sharing board, 3.5-inch vertical drive bay, 5.25-inch horizontal
peripheral bays, and SCSI hot-docking backplanes.
•
The top cover provides access to the front panel board. You must
remove both side covers before you can remove the top cover.
•
The plastic front cover provides access to the front of the chassis and the
5.25-inch horizontal peripheral bays. You must remove both side covers
and the top cover before you can remove the front cover.
•
The snap-in plastic peripheral bay cover provides access to the 5.25-inch
horizontal peripheral bays without the need to remove other covers.

! CAUTION
For proper cooling and airflow, do not operate the system
with the covers removed. Always replace them before
turning on the system.
Removing a Side Cover
The side covers are interchangeable. See Figure 4-1.
1. Observe the warnings and cautions on page 3, “Safety Guidelines.”
2. Remove the three screws from the side cover, and save them.
3. Slide the cover backwards, about an inch, until it stops.
4. Pull the back end of the cover toward you to disengage its tabs from the
slots in the chassis. Set the cover aside.
