Before you begin, print all the related instructions or ensure that you can view the PDF version on another
computer for reference.
Note: Depending on the model, your server might look slightly different from the illustrations in this topic.
To remove the server cover, do the following:
1. Remove all media from the drives. Then, turn off all attached devices and the server.
2. Disconnect all power cords from electrical outlets.
3. Disconnect the power cord(s), Input/Output (I/O) cables, and all other cables that are connected to
the server.
4. Remove any locking device that secures the server cover, such as a padlock or an integrated cable
lock. See "Server locks" on page 22.
5. Loosen the thumbscrew that secures the server cover and then slide the server cover to the rear until it
is stopped.
Notes:
a. The server cover is securely installed and you need to use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to loosen
the thumbscrew that secures the server cover. The thumbscrew is an integrated part of the server
cover and do not try to remove the thumbscrew from the server cover.
b. It is recommended that you wait three to five minutes to let the server cool before removing the
server cover.
