To remove the server top cover:
1. Review the information in "Before you begin" on page 45.
2. If you are planning to install or remove any part other than a hot-swap hard disk
drive, hot-swap power supply, or hot-swap fan, turn off the server and all
attached devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
3. Release the left and right side latches and pull the server out of the rack enclosure
until both slide rails lock.
Note: When the server is in the locked position, you can reach the cables on the
back of the server.
4. Lift the cover-release latch and slide the top cover toward the rear of the server
about 25 mm (1 inch). Lift the cover off the server and 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.
To remove the bezel:
1. Press in on the top sides of the bezel and pull the bezel away from the server
front.
2. Store the bezel in a safe place.
You can install up to five peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapters in the
expansion connectors on the system board.
Your server comes with a video controller. This video controller is an integrated
component on the system board. It is not removable. If you want to disable this
controller and use a video adapter instead, you can install a video adapter in an
expansion slot. When you install a video adapter, the server BIOS automatically
disables the integrated video controller.
The following illustration shows the location of the PCI expansion slots on the system
board.
