Removing the side cover panel
The side cover panel cannot be removed unless the front bezel has already
been removed. The side panel provides access to all of the internal
components of the server.
To remove the side cover panel:
1 Turn off the system and disconnect the power cord, modem cord (if
installed), and all external peripheral devices.
2 Observe all safety and static electricity precautions. (See “Preventing static
electricity discharge” on page 22.)
3 Remove the bezel. (See “Removing the bezel” on page 25.)
4 Loosen the three thumbscrews from the left side of the front panel.
5 Slide the side panel to the front, disengaging the retaining tabs on the
top edge of the panel from the top of the chassis.
6 Lift the panel out and away from the chassis.
