Replacing The Server Top Cover; Removing The Bezel - IBM x3690 X5 Service Manual

Replacing the server top cover

To install the server cover, complete the following steps:
1. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and
seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the server.
Also, make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed.
2. Align the cover over the server (toward the rear of the server) until the cover
edges slip into position over the chassis.
Important: Before sliding the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on the
cover engage the chassis correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis
correctly, it will be hard to remove the cover later.
3. Slide the cover toward the front of the server; then, press down on the cover
release latch until it clicks into place.
4. Slide the server back into the rack cabinet until it latches.
5. Reconnect the external cables and power cords.
