1: Chassis Description
The chassis has two covers: a front cover and a top cover. The front cover is secured by
screws and should be removed only by a qualified service technician. The top cover is
secured by thumbscrews and provides user access to hot-pluggable PCI components.

Note: At this time, the Linux operating system does not support use of the PCI Hot-Plug
(PHP) feature. If you are running Linux, your system must be turned off before installing
or removing PCI boards. Windows 2000 requires drivers that are PHP compatible in
order to use the PHP feature.

A bezel snaps on to the front of the chassis and allows adequate airflow to cool the system
components. The door in the bezel provides user access to hard drives and the peripheral
bay.
Figure 1-3 gives an overhead view of the system with the top cover, front cover, and front
