Removing and Replacing the Rack System’s Access
Panel
Your rack system has an access panel that needs to be removed before you can access the
system’s internal components, and this panel also needs to be replaced after your work
with the components has been completed. This section covers how to remove and replace
this panel. Note that removing/replacing the front access panel is covered in a
subsequent section “Removing and Replacing a Rack System’s Front Access Panel”
covered in this chapter.
Removing the Rack System’s Access Panel
If you need to upgrade or just remove/replace internal system components, you will need
to remove the system’s access panel.
1. Turn the system’s power off and disconnect the system’s power cable(s). If you are
only removing a system fan, you can leave the system on and the power cables
connect because the system fans are hot-swappable. If you need to remove or replace
a processor’s turbofan, see the section “Removing and Replacing a Processor” in this
chapter for instructions.
2. Release the front panel’s rack latches by rotating them outward and slide the system
out of the rack until the guide-rail release clips are visible. See Figure 2-8 and
Figure 2-9. For rack-mounting instructions, see the Midweight Slide Kit HP
5064-9670 “Installation Guide” that came with your rack enclosure.
