Follow Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Precautions

To prevent damage to the server, observe all of the following ESD precautions while performing
the server parts removal or replacement procedures:
■
Work on a static-free mat.
■
Wear a static strap to ensure that any accumulated electrostatic charge is discharged from
your body to the ground.
■
Create a common ground for the equipment you are working on by connecting the static-free
mat, static strap, and peripheral units to that piece of equipment.
■
Keep uninstalled printed circuit boards in their protective antistatic bags.
■
Handle printed circuit boards by their edges once you have removed them from their
protective antistatic bags.

Server Covers and Bezel

To upgrade, remove, or replace most server components, you must first remove the covers from
the server chassis. This section explains how to remove and replace the covers for both pedestal
and rack-mount configurations.
WARNING: Do not remove the server covers without first powering the server off and unplugging the
power cord from the outlet or Power Protection Device unless you are only replacing a hot-swappable fan.
Always replace the covers before powering the server on.

Pedestal-Mount Server

To access the internal components on a pedestal-mount server, you must remove the left-side
cover and the top cover.
Removing the Side and Top Covers on a Pedestal-Mount Server
WARNING: Never remove the server side cover without first disconnecting the power cord from the
power outlet and removing any connection to a telecommunications network. If a Power Protection Device
is fitted to your server, you must power off the server using the power button and remove the power cord
before removing the server side cover. Remove the Power Protection Device cables before any servicing
operation. Always replace the side cover before powering the server on again.
To remove the side cover, follow these steps:
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power cable and all other cables from the back of the
server.
NOTE: If you are removing only a hot-swappable fan or a hot-plug hard drive, you can leave the
server on and the power cables connected.
2. Remove the side cover.
d. Grasp both indentations at the top of the side cover and pull outward.
e. Lift the side cover off of the server chassis.
