Removing and replacing consumable and structural parts
Replacement of consumable and structural parts is your responsibility. If IBM
installs a consumable or structural part at your request, you will be charged for the
installation.

1. Read the safety information that begins on page vii and “Installation guidelines”
on page 191.
2. If you are planning to view the error LEDs that are on the system board and
components, leave the server connected to power and go directly to step 4.
3. If you are planning to install or remove a microprocessor, memory module, PCI
adapter, battery, or other non-hot-swap optional device, turn off the server and
all attached devices and disconnect all external cables and power cords.
4. Slide the server out of the rack enclosure until both slide rails lock.
Note: You can reach the cables on the back of the server when the server is in
the locked position.
5. Press the blue latch 1 on the top (in the center of the front of the server) and
lift the cover-release latch 2. Slide the cover toward the rear 3 and lift the
cover off the server. Set the cover aside.
Attention: For proper cooling and airflow, replace the cover before you turn
on the server. Operating the server for extended periods of time (over 30
minutes) with the cover removed might damage server components.
6. If you are instructed to return the cover, follow all packaging instructions, and
use any packaging materials for shipping that are supplied to you.
