server is powered on when the cover is removed, power is immediately switched off.
Action: If the server does not power on, check that the switch is intact and properly
aligned. Ensure that the server top cover is in place and sits flat and snug on top of the
server. Ensure that the interlock switch components have not been damaged, removed, or
misaligned. For instructions for properly installing the top cover, see "Install the Server Top
Cover" on page 226.
Prevention: After removing the top cover, take care that it does not get bent. When servicing
the server, take care that the internally mounted interlock switch component does not get
damaged or misaligned. Never operate the server without the top cover installed.

Troubleshooting With Diagnostic Tools
The server and its accompanying software and firmware contain diagnostic tools and features
that can help you isolate component problems, monitor the status of a functioning system,
and exercise one or more subsystem to disclose more subtle or intermittent hardware-related
problems.
Each diagnostic tool has its own specific strength and application. Review the tools listed in
this section and determine which tool might be best to use for your situation. Once you have
determined the tool to use, you can access it locally, while at the server, or remotely.
