Opening the System Unit

Caution – Before opening the system unit, make sure the system power switch is in
the Standby position. The green LED on the front of the system unit should not be
lit, and the fan should not be running. When the system power switch is in the
Standby position, and the AC power cord remains connected to a power outlet,
hazardous AC voltage is still present in the power supply primary. Do not attempt
to service the power supply under these conditions. Disconnect the AC power cord
prior to handling the power supply. When servicing any other system component,
the AC power cord should remain connected; it poses no safety hazard.
To open the system unit and gain access to the CRUs inside it:
1. Make sure that the system power switch is in the Standby position.
The green LED on the front of the system unit should not be lit, and the fan should
not be running. Leave the AC power cord connected to both the system unit and
wall outlet.
