The chassis features a removable top cover for access to the internal components.
Removing the Top Cover
1. Unscrew the thumbscrew at the rear of the cover and slide the cover toward the rear.
2. Lift the top cover up.
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.
