Remove the Server Top Cover

Servicing some components requires that the top cover be removed.

  1. Ensure that AC power cords are disconnected from the server power supplies.

    Note:

    Fan modules and M.2 flash SSDs are hot-pluggable and do not require AC power cables to be disconnected from the server power supplies.
  2. If the release button latch is in the locked position, use a Torx T15 screwdriver to turn the release button latch clockwise to the unlocked position.

    Figure showing the release button latch in the unlocked position.
  3. Unlatch the top cover [1].

    Lift up on the release button on top of the server cover. Lifting the release button slides the server cover toward the rear of the chassis for easy removal.
