Removing the compute book cover

This information provides instructions on how to remove the compute book cover.

The compute book has a cover on the left side and a cover on the right side for access to the microprocessor and DIMMs. Use the same procedure to remove both covers.

To access the microprocessor and DIMMs 1 through 12, remove the left cover.

To access DIMMs 13 through 24, remove the right cover.

To remove the compute book covers, complete the following steps:

1. Before you begin, read 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. Remove the compute book from the server. Pull the top fan-pack handle down and slide the blue release latch (behind the fan handle) to the right to release the compute book cam handle.
   
   
   
4. Rotate the cam handle all the way down and slide the compute book out of the server.
5. Lay the compute book on its side, and press down on both blue touch points and slide the cover toward the rear of the compute book.
   Attention

   Remove only one cover (on one side) at a time to protect the compute book components on the other side of the compute book from being damaged.

   
   
   
6. Lift the cover off and set it aside.
