Locking Your System - DEC AlphaServer 1000A Owner's Manual

Locking Your System

The system unit is protected by a key lock located on the front door that prevents
unauthorized access to the hardware inside the unit. Turning the key to the left locks
the front door. When the front door is locked, the top cover and side panels cannot
be removed. Turning the key to the right unlocks the system unit and allows you
access to install or remove system components. When the system unit is unlocked,
push the lock to open the door. Figure 2-7 shows the system lock in the unlocked
position.
To remove the top cover, pull down the latch located on the front of the system above
the lock, and while holding down the latch, pull the top cover off from the rear of the
system. With the top cover and side panels removed, the system cannot be turned on.
