Removing and Replacing the Server Main Cover
The AirSpeed 5000 server must be operated with the chassis cover in place to ensure proper
cooling. However, you will need to remove the main cover to add or replace components inside
of the server (Video I/O board set). Before removing the main cover, power down the server and
unplug all peripheral devices and the AC power cables.

A nonskid surface or a stop behind the server may be needed to prevent the server from sliding
on your work surface.
To remove the server main cover:
1. Observe the safety precautions described in “Electrostatic Discharge Precautions” on
page 76 and “Safety and Regulatory Information” in the AirSpeed 5000 Setup Guide.
2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Then, turn off the server.
3. Disconnect the AC power cords.
4. Unscrew the thumbscrews at the back of the unit until they are loose.
5. Pull the thumbscrews backwards and slide the main cover until it hits the tabs.
6. Remove the main cover and set in a safe place.
To replace the server main cover:
1. Place the main cover over the server system so that the side edges of the cover sit just outside
the server system sidewalls.
2. Slide the main cover forward until it fits in place.
3. Tighten the rear thumbscrews.
4. Reconnect all peripheral devices and the AC power cords.
