Opening and Removing the Rear Access Panel
The NAS e7000 v2 server has front and rear access panels that may need to be opened and
removed to access the system board, processors, memory slots, expansion slots, and other
internal components. Observe the following warnings and cautions when removing the access
panels.
WARNING: Before removing the access panels for non-hot-plug hardware options, be sure
that the power cords are disconnected from the electrical outlet.
WARNING: Pressing the Power On/Standby button sets the server to the standby position,
which removes power from most areas of the server. However, portions of the power supply
and some internal circuitry remain active until the AC power cord is removed.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal
system components to cool before touching.
Caution: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Properly ground
yourself before beginning any installation procedure.
To open the rear access panel:
1. Extend or remove the server from the rack. Refer to “Extending the Server from the Rack”
in this chapter.
2. Disengage the lock on the rear panel using the Torx T-15 tool (1).
3. Using the handle on the rear access panel, slide the rear access panel toward the rear of the
unit (2). The springs raise the rear access panel.
