Operations 19
CAUTION: To prevent damage to electrical components, take the appropriate anti-static
precautions before beginning any installation, removal, or replacement procedure. Improper
grounding can cause electrostatic discharge.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or
removed. Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling
that can lead to thermal damage.
1. Power down the server (on page 15).
2. If you are performing a non-hot-plug procedure, remove all power:
a. Disconnect each power cord from the power source.
b. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
3. Do one of the following:
o Extend the server from the rack (on page 15).
o Remove the server from the rack (on page 18).
4. Open the access panel latch, slide the access panel to the rear of the chassis, and then remove the
access panel.
If the access panel latch is locked, use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to unlock the latch.
Install the access panel
1. Place the access panel on top of the server with the access panel latch open. Allow the panel to
extend past the rear of the server by approximately 1.25 cm (0.5 inch).
2. Close the access panel latch. The access panel slides to a closed position.
3. Use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to tighten the access panel latch screw.
Remove the air baffle
CAUTION: For proper cooling, do not operate the server without the access panel, baffles,
expansion slot covers, or blanks installed. If the server supports hot-plug components,
minimize the amount of time the access panel is open.
