Removal and replacement procedures 31
System covers
The access panel and the front bezel are both detachable. You must remove these system covers
before you can remove or replace a server component.
Access panel
The access panel must be removed to access the internal components and the non-hot-plug mass
storage devices.
To remove the access panel:
1. Loosen the captive thumbscrew located on the rear edge of the access panel.
2. Slide the panel back about 2.5 cm (1.0 in) to release it from the chassis notch.
3. Detach the panel from the chassis.
4. Place the access panel in a safe place for reinstallation later.
