Access Cover
Removing the Access Cover
You need to remove the system access cover, and in some cases the front bezel, to reach
components inside the system. Facing the front of the system, the access cover is on the right side
for pedestal-mounted (tower) servers, and on the top for rack-mounted servers.
1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this chapter.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the system.
3. Turn off the system by using the power on/off switch on the front panel AND unplug all AC
power cords.
4. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables attached to the I/O panel on the back of the system.
5. Remove and save the two screws from the back of the access cover; you will need them later to
reattach the cover.
6. Place the fingertips of your right hand under the built-in handle on the back of the cover. A
rounded, rectangular depression in the front middle of the access cover serves as another
handle.
7. Using an even pull, slide the cover backward, about an inch, until it stops.
8. Pull the entire cover outward, straight away from the chassis, to disengage the rows of tabs
from the notches in the top and bottom edges of the chassis. Set the cover aside.
