CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can
lead to thermal damage.

2. Unlock the latch using a T-15 Torx screwdriver.
NOTE: The T-15 Torx screwdriver is shipped with the server and can be located on the rear
panel ("Rear panel components" on page 71).
3. Lift up on the hood latch, and remove the access panel.
4. After installing hardware options, replace the access panel. Be sure that the panel is securely locked
into place before powering up the server.
