3.2 Accessing the System
The 815TQC-605WB/R504WB chassis features a removable top cover, which allows easy
access to the inside of the chassis.
Removing the Top Cover
1. Begin by removing power from the system as described in Section 3.1.
2. Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the unit straight out until it locks (you will
hear a click).
3. Depress the two buttons on the top of the chassis to release the top cover and at the
same time, push the cover away from you until it stops.
4. Lift the top cover from the chassis to gain full access to the inside of the server.
Check that all ventilation openings on the top cover and the top of the chassis are clear and
unobstructed.
Caution
: Except for short periods of time, do not operate the server without the cover in place.
The chassis cover must be in place to allow for proper airflow and to prevent overheating.
