Procedure
1. Read the safety information that begins on “Safety” on page vii and
“Installation guidelines” on page 122.
2. Turn off the server and peripheral devices and disconnect the power cords
and all external cables.
Note: When you disconnect the power source from the server, you lose the
ability to view the LEDs because the LEDs are not lit when the power source
is removed. Before you disconnect the power source, make a note of which
LEDs are lit, including the LEDs that are lit on the operation information
panel and LEDs inside the server on the system board.
3. Remove the cover (see “Removing the cover” on page 126).
4. Remove the DVD drive filler panel if it is installed. Locate the blue release tab
on the rear of the DVD drive filler panel; then, while you press the tab, push
the DVD drive filler panel out of the drive bay.
