Opening the server

Caution!

Before you proceed, make sure that you have turned

off your system and all peripherals connected to it. Read the

"Preinstallation instructions" on page 30

You need to open the server before you can install additional
components. The front and left side panels are removable to allow
access to the system's internal components. Refer to the following
sections for instructions.

Before opening the server

Before opening the server, observe the following precautions:

Turn off the system and all the peripherals connected to it.

Unplug all cables from the power outlets.

Place the system unit on a flat, stable surface.

Note:

Because of the G310 Mk2 design specification, only the side

panel needs to be removed to access the system board.
