Chapter 4: Installing Components

Opening the server case

Because the components inside your server are extremely sensitive to static
electricity, make sure that you follow the instructions at the beginning of this
chapter to avoid static electricity damage.
Warning
To open the server case:
1
Follow the instructions in
page
2
Turn off the server, then disconnect the power cord and all other cables
connected to the server.
3
For more stability, place the server on its side.
4
If your case has a shipping thumbscrew installed on the back, remove the
screw, then push the cover release latches away from each other.

For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the side
panel before you turn on the server. Operating the server
without the cover in place can damage server components.
