Replacing the left-side cover

Use this information to replace the left-side cover.

Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the server. Also, make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed.

Important
Before you slide the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on the front, rear, and side 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.

To replace the left-side server cover, complete the following steps.

  1. Set the bottom edge of the left-side cover on the bottom ledge of the server.
