(A) Removing the Chassis Top Cover

The CG2300 server must be operated with the top cover in place to ensure proper cooling. Always power down the system and
remove the top cover to add or replace any components inside the chassis that are not hot-swappable.
: 5V standby power is present inside the chassis whenever the power supply module(s) are connected to a power source.
CAUTION
Before removing the top cover, always power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices and the power cable(s).
A non-skid surface or a stop behind the server may be needed to prevent the server from sliding on the work surface.
Figure 6 shows the top cover and how it is removed. Follow these steps to remove the cover:
1. Remove the hex HD Phillips 6-32 shipping screw at the front left side of the cover, if it is still attached, and save it for
future use. (Figure 6, "A")
2. Remove the two shoulder screws (one on each side) from the cover. ("B")
3. While holding the blue unlocking button at the middle of the top cover ( "C"), slide the cover backwards until it stops
and the edge clears the lock bracket on the rear panel of the chassis
4. Lift the cover straight up to remove it from the chassis. ("D")
