Removing and Installing the Top Cover
The server comes with a removable top cover. Removal of this cover is necessary when installing or
removing many components. You do not have to remove the top cover when removing or installing PCI hot
plug and non-hot plug adapter boards, the Legacy I/O board, fans, hard drives, power supplies, or
components inside the Processor/Memory Complex.

1. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server.
2. Power down the server by pressing and holding the Power button on the Front Control Panel.
You may have to hold the Power button down for several seconds.
3. Disconnect the power cord and any Ethernet line.
4. Pull the server out of the rack.
