Remove the top cover

Procedure

1. Make preparations for this task.
   1. Power off the node (see Power off the node); then, disconnect all external cables from the node.
   2. Remove the node from the chassis (see Remove a node from the chassis); then, carefully lay the node on a flat, static-protective surface, orienting the node with the front toward you.
2. Remove the top cover from the node.
   1. Press the release button on the side of the top cover.
   2. Slide the top cover toward the rear of the node; then, lift it up from the node and place it on a flat and clean surface.
      Important

      • Service label is located on the inside of the top cover (see Identify the system and access the Lenovo XClarity Controller).
      • For proper cooling and air flow, install the top cover before powering on the node. Operating the node with the top cover removed might damage the components.
