Removing and replacing the cover

Important: Before you install optional hardware, make sure that the server is working correctly. Start
the server, and make sure that the operating system starts, if an operating system is installed, or that
a 19990305 error code is displayed, indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is
otherwise working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see the Hardware Maintenance Manual for
diagnostic information.

Removing the cover

To remove the server cover, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information in Chapter 2 "Safety information" on page 3 and "Installation guidelines"
on page 67.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables, if
necessary.
Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you will lose the ability to view the LEDs
because the LEDs will not be lit with the power source removed. Before disconnecting the power source,
make a note of which LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information panel,
the EasyLED panel, and LEDs that are lit inside the server on the system board; then, see the Hardware
Maintenance Manual for information on how to solve the problem.
