v Do not touch solder joints, pins, or exposed circuitry.
v Do not leave the device where others can handle and damage it.
v While the device is still in its static-protective package, touch it to an unpainted
metal surface on the outside of the server for at least 2 seconds. This drains
static electricity from the package and from your body.
v Remove the device from its package and install it directly into the server without
setting down the device. If it is necessary to set down the device, put it back into
its static-protective package. Do not place the device on the server cover or on a
metal surface.
v Take additional care when handling devices during cold weather. Heating reduces
indoor humidity and increases static electricity.
Removing the server cover
Important: Before you install optional hardware, make sure that the server is
working correctly. Start the server, and make sure that the operating system starts,
if an operating system is installed, or that a 19990305 error code is displayed,
indicating that an operating system was not found but the server is otherwise
working correctly. If the server is not working correctly, see the Problem
Determination and Service Guide for diagnostic information.
To remove the server cover, complete the following steps:
1. Read the safety information that begins on page v and “Installation guidelines”
on page 9.
2. If you are planning on removing or installing a microprocessor, memory module,
PCI adapter, Remote Supervisor Adapter II SlimLine, RAID controller,
simple-swap hard disk drive, or battery, turn off the server and peripheral
devices and disconnect the power cords and all external cables, if necessary.

See the Rack Installation Instructions that come with the server for information
about removing the server from the rack.
4. Slide and lift the two cover-release latches on the fan door on the right side of
the top of the server.
5. Lift the fan door cover.
6. Loosen the thumbscrew at the back of the server.
