Removing and Replacing the Top Cover
Access to internal components require moving the locked top server cover in both standalone and
pedestal-installed environments.
NOTE: When the top cover is open or removed, the chassis fan units increase to high speed to
assist cooling. When the top cover is replaced at the end of the operation, the chassis fans return
to normal speed. HP recommends replacing the top cover within 15 seconds.
Removing the Top Cover
To remove the top cover, follow these steps:
1. If rack installed, fully extend the server out from the rack. See “Extending the Server from the
Rack” (page 164).
2. Unlock the cover release lever by turning the cam approximately 90 degrees counterclockwise.
3. Pull up on the cover release lever to disengage the top cover from the chassis (Figure 53).
