Opening the server case
Because the components inside your server are extremely sensitive to static electricity, make 
sure that you follow the instructions at the beginning of this chapter to avoid static 
electricity damage.
To open the server:
1
Follow the instructions in 
. Make 
sure you turn off the server, then unplug the power cord and all other cables connected 
to the server.
2
If the bezel is installed, unlock it, then pull it off.
3
If the server is mounted in a cabinet, remove the server from the cabinet. For 
instructions, see 
4
Place the server on a stable, non-skid surface.
5
Remove the shipping screw (if one is installed).
Caution
For correct cooling and air flow, always reinstall the top panel before 
you turn on the server. Operating the server without the panel in place 
will cause the server to overheat.
Warning
Screws are required to support the front of the server when using 
the standard cabinet rails. You must support the server while 
removing the front screws and while sliding the server off the cabinet 
rails. If the server is not supported, damage to the server or injury 
could result.
