Removing the Front Cover

CAUTION Do not operate the server without the front and top covers in place. Operation of the HP server

without the front and top covers in place makes the server susceptible to EMI and overheating

problems, which results in server failure.

Observe all ESD safety precautions before attempting this procedure. Failure to follow ESD

safety precautions could result in damage to the server.

Figure 3-6 Removing and Replacing the Front Cover

To remove the front cover, perform the following steps:

Step 1. If rack-mounted, slide the HP server out from the rack until it stops. See “Accessing a

Rack-Mounted Server” on page 30.

Step 2. Remove the front bezel. See “Removing the Front Bezel” on page 36.

Step 3. Loosen the four captive thumbscrews that hold the front cover in place. Figure 3-6 shows the

thumbscrews on the front panel.

Step 4. Raise the cover slightly, and pull the cover toward the front of the server to free the tabs from the

slots in the chassis.
