Before you remove the cover

It is okay if you remove chassis cover while the system is powered on if you are checking chassis fans or PCI-e component activity. If the chassis cover is removed while system is plugged into power, it will log an alert in the IPMI event logs for ‘chassis intrusion’. If you plan on installing or removing internal hardware components from the motherboard or PCI-e riser, make sure:

  1. System is powered off

  2. Unplug all power supply modules

  3. Press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds to clear the power safely

Step-by-step guide

  1. Remove the two back screws that hold the top cover down (marked in RED)

     

  2. Push down on the blue button to reveal the handle and unlock the top chassis cover
