instructions on replacing components on the server board, such as the processor and memory
DIMMs, see the instructions provided with the server/workstation board.

chassis as it would be positioned for normal operation.
Removing and Installing the Chassis Cover
Removing the Chassis Cover
The Intel
®
Server Chassis P4000M family must be operated with the top cover in place to
ensure proper cooling. You will need to remove the top cover to add or replace components
inside of the platform. Before removing the top cover, power down the server and unplug all
peripheral devices and the AC power cable.

A non-skid surface or a stop behind the chassis may be needed to prevent the chassis from sliding on
your work surface.
