Installing the Side Covers
Before you begin:
Be sure you have:
Read “Electrical Safety” on page 75 and “Handling
Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 77 (or your safety booklet).
Turned off peripheral devices (see “Preparing to Install
Options” on page 78).
11 Attention: For correct cooling and airflow, always replace
the top and side covers before turning on the server.
Operating the server with the covers removed might damage
server components.
12 Attention: Do not damage or displace the electromagnetic
interference (EMI) gaskets mounted on the cover. Replace
any damaged gaskets, or your server might not meet EMI
requirements.
Note: You must install the top cover before you can install the side
covers.
To install either of the server side covers, do the following steps:
1. Before installing a side cover, make sure that you have not left
loose tools or parts inside the server. Check that all cables,
adapters, and other components are installed and seated
correctly.
2. Align the cover so that the padlock slot at the back edge fits
over the loop at the back edge on the chassis.
