Install the Server Top Cover

1. Place the top cover on the chassis [1].
Set the cover down so that it hangs over the back of the server by about 1 inch (25 mm) and the
side latches align with the cutouts in the chassis.
2. Check both sides of the chassis to ensure that the top cover is fully down and
flush with the chassis.

2. To remove the PCIe slot filler panel, rotate
the PCIe locking mechanism in to an
upright position, and then lift and remove
the PCIe slot filler panel from the location
into which you intend to install the PCIe
card.
In single-processor systems, PCIe slots
Note -
1 through 6 are nonfunctional; therefore, there
is no need to remove the filler panels for these
slots.
Installation Procedure
1. Locate the vacant storage drive module
slot in the server, and then ensure that the
release lever on the filler panel is fully

2. To install the PCIe slot filler panel, press
the PCIe filler panel into the vacant PCIe
slot, and then rotate the PCIe locking
mechanism downward to secure the PCIe
slot filler panel. You will hear an audible
click when the PCIe filler panel is secured
into the slot.
Note - In single-processor systems, PCIe slots
1 through 6 are nonfunctional; therefore, the
server ships with these filler panels installed.
