2/2 FT5000 HANDBOOK
Access cover
Removing the access cover
You need to remove the system access cover, and in some cases the front bezel, to reach
components inside the system. Facing the front of the system, the access cover is on the right side
for pedestal-mounted (tower) servers, and on the top for rack-mounted servers.
1.
Observe the precautions as given in
Safety & Regulatory Notices
at the front of this
handbook.
1.
Turn off and disconnect
all
peripheral devices connected to the system.
2.
Turn off the system by using the power on/off switch on the front panel AND unplug all AC
power cords.
3.
Remove and save the two screws from the back of the access cover; you will need them later
to reattach the cover.
4.
Place the fingertips of your right hand under the built-in handle on the back of the cover. A
rounded, rectangular depression in the front middle of the access cover serves as another
handle.
5.
Using an even pull, slide the cover backward, about 2 to 3cm, until it stops.
6.
Pull the entire cover outward, straight away from the chassis, to disengage the rows of tabs
from the notches in the top and bottom edges of the chassis. Set the cover aside.
Installing the access cover
1.
Before replacing the access cover, check that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the
system.
2.
Check that cables, add-in boards, and other components are properly installed.
3.
Position the cover over the chassis so that the rows of tabs align with slots in the chassis.
Slide the cover toward the front of the system until the tabs on the cover firmly engage in the
chassis.
4.
Attach the cover to the chassis with the two screws you removed earlier, and tighten them
firmly.
5.
Connect all external cables and the power cords to the system.
