Before installing a slimline ODD or LSD, perform the following steps:
Ê Shut down the server as described in section "Shutting down the server" on
page 71.
Ê Remove the AC power cords from the PSU cable brackets and disconnect
them from the system as described in section "Disconnecting the server
from the mains" on page 72.
Ê When working on a rack-mounted server, extend it out of the rack as
described in section "Extending the server out of the rack" on page 76.
If further required, remove the server from the rack as described in section
"Removing the server from the rack" on page 77.
Ê Open the side / top cover as described in section "Removing the top cover"
on page 79 (rack server) or "Removing the side cover" on page 88 (tower

"Opening the server" on page 79.
I The front cover only needs to be removed in order to remove
accessible drive dummy covers (see section "Removing accessible
drive dummy covers" on page 656). If the Multibay box is already
installed in the server and will be removed in order to install a slimline
ODD or LSD module, skip this step.
Ê Remove the air duct as described in section "Removing the system air duct"
on page 100.
Ê Remove the system fan holder as described in section "Removing the
system fan holder" on page 389.
Ê If the Multibay box is already installed in the server, disconnect all cables
from the slimline ODD or LSD module and remove the box as described in
section "Removing the Multibay box" on page 713.
