Removing the Access Panel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for any length of time without the access
panel installed. Operating the server without its access panel results in improper
cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
CAUTION: To avoid the risk of damage to your system or optional components,
remove all AC power cords before installing or removing non-hot-plug options.
When the Power On/Standby button is in the off position, auxiliary power is still
present and may damage the system.
CAUTION: Electrostatic discharge can damage electronic components. Be sure
you are properly grounded before beginning any installation procedure.
Place the tower server on a flat working surface or slide the rack server out of
the rack before removing the access panel. The system configuration and
options labels located on the inside of the access panel provide information on
installing hardware options, locating system switches and LEDs, and
upgrading system resources.
Ensure that the access panel is securely in place before powering up the server.
Tower Server
To remove the tower server access panel:
1. If the server is operating, power down the server. See “Powering Down
the Server” in this chapter.
NOTE: Some hot-plug hardware options may be installed without powering down the
server or removing the access panel.
2. Unlock the front bezel. See “Unlocking and Opening the Front Bezel,”
in this chapter.
