Side Access Panel - Compaq 5500R - ProLiant - 256 MB RAM Maintenance And Service Manual

Side Access Panel

The side access panel can be removed while the server is turned on without causing system
shutdown. Auxiliary power (+5V) will remain in the exposed areas.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system
components to cool before touching them.
To remove the side access panel:
1. Perform the preparation procedures. See "Preparation Procedures" earlier in this chapter.
2. Open the front bezel door (tower model only).
3. Using a Torx T-15 screwdriver, loosen then unscrew the two thumbscrews securing the
side access panel to the chassis.
4. Pull the side access panel back and away from the chassis.

CAUTION: To reduce the risk of server shutdown and subsequent data loss or damage to the
equipment, use extreme care when running the Compaq ProLiant 5500 and 5500R with covers
or access panels removed. Access panels are an integral part of the cooling system and
removing them while the system is running may cause component stress or overheating.
