Use this information to install the server cover.

Read the installation Guidelines

Power off the server for this task

ATTENTION: Static Sensitive Device Ground package before opening

Before installing the server cover:

1. Ensure that all adapters and other components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the server.

2. Ensure that all internal cables are correctly routed. See Internal cable routing.

3. If you are installing a new server cover, attach the service label to the inside of the new server cover first if necessary.

   Note

   A new server cover comes without a service label attached. If you need a service label, order it together with the new server cover. The service label is free of charge.

To install the server cover, complete the following steps:

Figure 1. Server cover installation

1. Lower the server cover onto the chassis until all tabs on both sides of the server cover engage the chassis. Then, slide the server cover toward the front of the chassis until the server cover stops and the front edge of the cover aligns with the edge of the front bezel.
   Note

   Before you slide the cover forward, ensure that all the tabs of the cover engage the chassis correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will be very difficult to remove the cover later.
2. Use the key to turn the cover lock to the locked position.
