Removing and Replacing System Covers and Bezels
To upgrade, remove, or replace most system components, you must first remove the covers from the system
chassis. This section explains how to remove and replace the covers for both rack and tower-mounted
configurations.
WARNING Do not remove the system cover without first turning the system 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 system
on.
Rack-Mount System
To access the internal components on a rack-mounted system, pull the system out onto the rail guides and
remove the metal cover.
Accessing a Rack Mounted Server
The HP 9000 rp3410 and HP 9000 rp3440 servers are designed to be rack mounted. The following procedure

instructions, refer to the Installation Guide, Mid-Weight Slide Kit, 5065-7291. This document can be accessed

WARNING Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate
ballast properly placed; and so on) are employed prior to extending the server.
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, perform the following steps:
NOTE If you are replacing a hot-swappable item, you can leave the system on and external cables
(including the power cord) connected.
Step 1. Turn off the system and disconnect the power and external cables from the back of the system.
