Preparing to Add Options 7. If necessary, unlock the server side cover. 8. Remove the side cover by pulling out on the cover-release tab at the rear of the side cover. Then, slide the cover toward the front of the server and lift it off. 9. Set the door aside. CoverRelease Tab Accessing the System Board Before you can install or remove certain options, you might need to access the system board. For example, you might need to remove adapters, drives, and cables that impede your access to components on the system board. You also need to access the system board before you can install or remove such options as adapters, memory modules, and microprocessors, because these devices reside on the system board. To access the system board more easily, place the server on its side, so that the system board is facing you, on a flat, sturdy surface, such as a table. Note: To see a list of the system-board components and an illustration that shows their locations, see "System Board Illustration" on page 203. 58 Netfinity 3500 User's Handbook
