Removing the chassis cover

To access the front bezel locks, remove the chassis cover.

Procedure

Power down the server.
Disconnect the power cord from the AC source.
Remove the power adapter cord from the power cord clip, and then disconnect the power adapter from the server.
Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
If installed, unlock and remove the security padlock and/or the Kensington security lock.
For more information, see the lock documentation.
If the server is in a vertical orientation, position the server in a horizontal orientation.
Remove the chassis cover:
1. Remove the cover thumbscrews.
  If the thumbscrews are too tight, use a T-15 Torx screwdriver to remove them (callout 1).
2. Slide the cover about half an inch towards the rear panel until the arrowhead markers on the front edge of the chassis are exposed, and then detach the cover from the server (callout 2).
