Opening and Closing the Server

1

Shut down the server.

Be sure to wait a brief period to allow the server’s internal components to cool.

2

If the cable-management arm is not in use for all cables, unplug all cables from the back panel
except the power cord. (If necessary, also remove the FireWire cable from the front panel.)

Pull the server drive
module out of the server.

Important

Be sure to save the blank drive module if you removed one. This module should

always be placed in an empty drive bay to maintain proper airflow through the server.

Warning

Always shut down your server before opening it to avoid damaging its internal

components or the components you want to install. Do not open the server or attempt to
install items inside it while it is turned on. After shutting down your server, the internal
components can be very hot. Let the computer cool down before continuing.
