Removing a Side Panel

To install boards in your system, you must remove the
external side panel.

Caution: For proper cooling and airflow, do not
operate the system with the side panels removed.
Always replace the panels before powering on the
system.

Caution: Do not damage or bend the EMI fingers that
are located along the top of the chassis on its two sides,
as you remove and install the side panels, or your
system may not meet EMI requirements.

Warning: If you are removing the side panel after the
system is set up, you must first power off the system
and all external devices. Unplug the system power
cord.

To remove a side panel:

1.

Power off the system and ensure it is disconnected
from the ac wall outlet.

2.

Observe the safety and ESD precautions listed at
the beginning of this chapter.

3.

The side panel is secured from the back edge with
two screws. Remove the padlock (if used) and the
screws (Figure 5-1) securing the side panel. Save
the screws for reattaching the side panel.

4.

Grip the built-in handle on the back of the panel.
Slide the side panel toward the rear of the chassis
about an inch until it stops.

5.

Pull the side panel out and away from the chassis.
Set the panel aside.
