iv Warnings and Cautions
Warnings and Cautions
These warnings and cautions apply whenever you remove the access cover to access components
inside the server. Only a technically qualified person should integrate and configure the server.
WARNINGS
The power button on the front panel DOES NOT turn off the AC power.
To remove power from server, you must unplug the AC power cord
from the wall outlet or the chassis.
Hazardous electrical conditions may be present on power, telephone,
and communication cables. Turn off the server and disconnect the power
cords, telecommunications systems, networks, and modems attached to
the server before opening it. Otherwise, personal injury or equipment
damage can result.
Hazardous voltage, current, and energy levels are present inside the
power supply. There are no user-serviceable parts inside it; servicing
should be done by technically qualified personnel.
CAUTIONS
ESD can damage disk drives, boards, and other parts. Perform all procedures
in this document only at an ESD workstation. If one is not available, provide
ESD protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached to chassis
ground any unpainted metal surface on your server when handling parts.
Always handle boards carefully. They can be extremely sensitive to ESD.
Hold boards only by their edges. Do not touch the connector contacts. After
removing a board from its protective wrapper or from the server, place the
board component side up on a grounded, static free surface. Use a conductive
foam pad if available but not the board wrapper. Do not slide board over any
surface.
For proper cooling and airflow, always install the access cover before turning
on the server. Operating it without the cover in place can damage system
parts.

Before You Begin 1
Before You Begin
Before removing the access cover for any reason, observe these safety guidelines.
1. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to the server.
2. Turn off the server by pressing the power button on the front of the chassis.
3. Unplug the AC power cord from the chassis or wall outlet.
4. Label and disconnect all peripheral cables connected to I/O connectors or ports on the back of
the chassis.
5. Label and disconnect all telecommunication lines connected to I/O connectors or ports on the
back of the chassis.
6. Provide electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection by wearing an anti-static wrist strap attached
to a chassis ground—any unpainted metal surface—when handling components.
About the Drive Cage Upgrade Kits

Chassis SC5400, SC5400 BRP, or SC5400 LX.
Remove the Access Cover
When your chassis is upright (in a tower/pedestal position), and you are facing the front of it, the access
cover is on the left side.
If your chassis is in a rack-mount configuration, the left side is already on the top.
To remove the access cover:
1. Observe all safety and ESD precautions listed at the beginning of this document.
2. Power the system off and disconnect the power cable(s).
3. Remove the access cover screw, if necessary (letter “A”).
4. If the bezel is locked, unlock it.
5. Press the latch (letter “B”)
6. Slide the cover towards the rear of the chassis.
7. Lift the cover outward to remove it.

Remove the Bezel Assembly
The bezel assembly consists of two parts, an inner bezel door and an outer bezel door. Both parts
comprise the bezel assembly in the pedestal configuration. In the rack configuration, only the inner
bezel door is used.
NOTE
For a rack configuration or chassis on its side, position the chassis hanging over
the edge of a table or workbench before removing the bezel.
To remove the bezel assembly:
1. Release the two plastic tabs (letter “A”) on the left side of the bezel assembly to disengage the
tabs.
2. Rotate the bezel assembly (letter “B”) no more than 40 degrees outward.
3. At a 40-degree angle, push the bezel assembly away from the chassis (letter “C”). If the bezel
assembly does not immediately disconnect from the chassis, then tap the left-hand side of the
bezel assembly to disengage the bezel hooks on the right-hand side of the chassis.
CAUTION
Do not rotate the bezel assembly more than 40 degrees or you will damage the
bezel hooks on the right-hand side of the bezel assembly.
