Opening the server case
Because the components inside your server are extremely sensitive to static electricity, make
sure that you follow the instructions at the beginning of this chapter to avoid static
electricity damage.
To open the server:
1 Follow the instructions in “Preventing static electricity discharge” on page 41. Make
sure that you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord(s) and all other cables
connected to the server.
2 If the bezel is installed, unlock it, then pull it off.
3 If the server is mounted in a cabinet, remove the server from the cabinet. For
instructions, see “Removing the server from a cabinet” on page 19.
4 Place the server on a stable, non-skid surface.
5 Remove the shipping screw (if installed).
Caution For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the top panel before
you turn on the server. Operating the server without the panel in place
will cause the server to overheat.
Warning This server has two power cords. To disconnect internal AC power,
you must unplug both power cords.
Warning Screws are required to support the front of the server when using
the standard cabinet rails. You must support the server while
removing the front screws and while sliding the server off the cabinet
rails. If the server is not supported, damage to the server or injury
may result.
