Replacing the left-side cover

Use this information to replace the left-side cover.

To install the server cover, complete the following steps:

  1. Read the safety information that begins in Safety and Installation guidelines.
  2. Turn off the server (see Turning off the server) and all attached peripheral devices. Disconnect all power cords; then, disconnect all external cables as necessary to replace the device.
  3. Slide the left-side cover over the server until the left-side cover edges slip into position over the chassis.

    Important: Before you slide the left-side cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on the cover engage the chassis correctly. If all the tabs do not engage the chassis correctly, it will be hard to remove the cover later.

  4. Lock the left-side cover, using the key that comes with the server.
