Installing the system top and base covers

About this task

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician. You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that are shipped with your product.
NOTE: To install the top cover, extend the top of the system slightly off the surface edge. To install the base cover, extend the base of the system slightly off the surface edge.

Steps

  1. Align the tabs on the inside of the covers, with the slots on the chassis.
  2. Lower the covers to the chassis and slide the covers toward the front of the system, until firmly seated.
    When firmly seated, the hooks on the covers align with the slots on the mounting ears.

  4. Reinstall the PCIe cage door.
  5. Close the system.
  6. If applicable, reinstall the wheel assembly.

  9. If removed, reinstall the hard drives, server modules, and PSUs.
  10. Reconnect the enclosure to its electrical outlet and turn the enclosure on, including any attached peripherals.
