IBM® xSeries 150 : User's Reference
The following sections describe how to remove the cover, the door (for tower models),
and the bezel.
Notes:
1. To remove or install a hot-swap hard disk drive or hot-swap power supply, it is
not necessary to remove the cover.
2. The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
Left-side cover
To remove the left-side cover of the tower model:
1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 19.
2. If you are planning to install or remove any part other than a hot-swap hard disk
drive or hot-swap power supply, turn off the server and all attached devices and
disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. Slide the cover-release lever on the front of the server to release the cover; then,
slide the cover toward the rear of the server about 25 mm (1 inch). Move the top
edge of the cover out from the server; then, lift the cover off the server. Set the
cover aside.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on the
server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes) with
the cover removed might damage server components.
