Removing the cover
The following information describes how to remove the cover.
Complete the following steps to remove the cover from the server:
1. Review the information in “Before you begin” on page 42.
2. Turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords.
3. Remove the server from the rack (see “Rack installation” on page 43).
4. Remove the two screws from the rear of the server.
5. Pull out on the cover release lever at the back of the server, to release the cover.
6. Slide the cover back, then up and off the server.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before turning on
the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30 minutes)
with the cover removed might damage server components.
7. Remove the clear shield that covers the inside of the server.
Note: It is not necessary to remove the shield when you are installing memory
modules or installing an adapter in the PCI slots.
Working with adapters
The server comes with two peripheral component interconnect (PCI) adapter slots on
the system board with riser cards installed in them.
Attention: Your server also comes with an integrated video controller on the system
board. When you install a video adapter in a PCI slot, the server BIOS automatically
disables the integrated video controller. This allows the video adapter in the PCI slot
to control the video functions for your monitor.
The following illustration shows the location of the 33 MHz PCI expansion slots on
the system board.
Note: The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
