Removing and Replacing Server Covers and Bezel
To upgrade, remove, or replace most server components, you must first remove the server covers from the
chassis. This section explains how to remove and replace the server covers and bezel for rack-mount and
pedestal-mount configurations.
WARNING Do not remove the server cover without first turning the server off and unplugging
the power cord from the outlet or power protection device unless you are only
replacing a hot-swappable fan. Always replace the cover before turning the server
on.
Accessing a Rack-Mount Server
HP 9000 rp3410 and rp3440 servers are designed to be rack mounted. The following procedure explains how
to gain access to a server that is mounted in an approved rack. For slide installation instructions, see the
Installation Guide, Mid-Weight Slide Kit (HP part number 5065-7291).
WARNING Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate
ballast properly placed, etc.) are employed before extending the server.
To access the internal components on a rack-mounted server, pull the server out onto the rail guides and
remove the top cover.
Extend the Server from the Rack
NOTE Ensure that there is enough area (approximately 1.5 meters [4.5 ft.]) to fully extend the server
out the front to work on it.
To extend the server from the rack, follow these steps:
NOTE If you are replacing a hot-swappable item, you can leave the server on and external cables
(including the power cord) connected.
Step 1. Power off the server and disconnect the power and external cables from the back of the server.
