HP (Hewlett-Packard) RP3410 Server User Manual


 
Removing and Replacing Server Covers and Bezel
To upgrade, remove, or replace most server components, you must first remove the server covers
from the chassis. This section explains how to remove and replace the server covers and bezel
for rack-mount and pedestal-mount configurations.
WARNING! Do not remove the server cover without first turning the server off and unplugging
the power cord from the outlet or power protection device unless you are only replacing a
hot-swappable fan. Always replace the cover before turning the server on.
Accessing a Rack-Mount Server
HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 servers are designed to be rack mounted. The following procedure
explains how to gain access to a server that is mounted in an approved rack. For slide installation
instructions, see the Installation Guide, Mid-Weight Slide Kit (HP part number 5065-7291).
WARNING! Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate
ballast properly placed, and so on.) are employed before extending the server.
To access the internal components on a rack-mounted server, pull the server out onto the rail
guides and remove the top cover.
Extending the Server From the Rack
NOTE: Ensure that there is enough area (approximately 1.5 meters [4.5 ft.]) to fully extend the
server out the front to work on it.
To extend the server from the rack, follow these steps:
NOTE: If you are replacing a hot-swappable item, you can leave the server on and external
cables (including the power cord) connected.
1. Power off the server and disconnect the power and external cables from the back of the
server.
2. Release the rack latches by rotating them outward.
