Removing the access panel

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the internal system components to cool before touching them.

Do not operate the chassis for long periods with the access panel open or removed. Operating the chassis in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
