Removing the Top Metal Cover

To upgrade, remove, or replace most server components, you must first remove the top metal cover from the

server. This section explains how to remove the cover for both the rack-mount and pedestal configurations.

WARNING Do not remove the server cover(s) without first turning the server off and

unplugging the power cord from the outlet or power protection device unless you

are only replacing a hot-swappable fan. Always replace the cover(s) before turning

the server on.

Step 1. Extend the server from the rack. See “Extending the Server from the Rack” on page 18.

Step 2. Ensure the top metal cover lock keyswitch is in the unlocked position. Rotate the blue release lever

toward the back of the server and slide the cover toward the back of the server. See Figure 1-3.
