Removing and Installing the Chassis Cover

The MAXDATA PLATINUM 1500 IR Server Chassis must be operated with the top cover in place to

ensure proper cooling. You will need to remove the top cover to add or replace components inside of

the chassis. Before removing the top cover, power down the server and unplug all peripheral devices

and the AC power cable.

 NOTE

A nonskid surface or a stop behind the chassis may be needed to prevent the chassis from sliding

on your work surface.

1. Observe the safety and ESD precautions at the beginning of this book.

2. Turn off all peripheral devices connected to the server. Turn off the server.

3. Disconnect the AC power cord.

4. Remove the shipping screw if it is installed. See letter “A” in the figure below.

back until it stops (See letter “C”).
