Installing the server top cover

Use this information to install the server top cover.

To install the server cover, complete the following steps:

  1. 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.
  2. Align the cover over the server (toward the rear of the server) until the cover edges slip into position over the chassis.
    Attention
    Before sliding the cover forward, make sure that all the tabs on both 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 hard to remove the cover later.
  3. Slide the cover forward toward the front of the server until the cover is completely closed.

  4. Tighten the thumbscrews on the rear of the cover to secure the cover to the chassis.
  5. Install the server into the rack enclosure and tighten the two front thumbscrews to secure the server in the rack.
    Attention
    Two or more people are required to install the system in a rack cabinet.
