Notes:
1.
To remove or install a hot-swap hard disk drive or hot-swap power supply, it is not
necessary to remove the cover.
2.
The illustrations in this document might differ slightly from your hardware.
To remove the left-side cover of the tower model:
1.
Turn off the server and all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and
power cords.
2.
Slide the cover-release lever on the front of the server to release the cover; then,
slide the cover toward the rear of the server approximately 25 mm (1 inch). Move
the top edge of the cover out from the server; then, lift the cover off the server. Set
the cover aside.
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.
