 Opening the Server

 

Opening the Server

 

The server slides open from the front of the rack. The server’s top cover remains in place 

in the rack; the bottom housing (containing all internal components) should be placed on a 

sturdy, flat surface.

 

No tools are required for this procedure. You may, however, find a Phillips screwdriver 

useful in releasing the thumb screws in step 1 below.

 

Before you begin this procedure, write down the server’s serial number located on the 

back panel. If it is necessary to set up the server’s software after service is complete, the 

serial number will be required for login.
