Obtain the new service label from the conversion kit; you might need to refer to the service label during this procedure.
Remove the trim bezel.

1.  Locate the blue bezel-release lever -1- on the left side of the server in the top front corner.
    
   
2.  Move the lever upward following the curve of the lever opening.
3.  Lift the bezel tabs out of the tab openings at the bottom front of the server and pull the bezel  away from the server front.

    The remaining cover will be the top cover.
3.  Align the bottom cover with the frame of the server.
4.  Press the cover onto the server; then, slide the cover toward the front of the server, making sure  the tabs on the rear of the cover fit into the slots on the rear of the server.
    
   
5.  Install two screws in the back of the cover.

Position the server open-side-up on a flat, nonconductive surface.
Remove the feet -1- from the server by unscrewing them.

Remove the hard disk drives.
Keep them in order so that you can return them to the same locations later.
Remove the power switch panel by pressing down and in on the arrow on the top blue tab.

•  The power control button is positioned above the reset button.
•  The tab on the server inside front goes between the two posts on the power switch panel.

Place the squared end of the power switch panel bracket into the bottom opening, and press the other end of the bracket toward the server front until the bracket clicks into place.

3.  From inside the server, gently pull the cable toward the rear of the server until the cable is  free of the non-hot-swap bay area.
4.  Release the cable from the cable clip on the right side of the server, behind the non-hot-swap bays.
5.  Reroute the cable to the top left side of the server.

     1) Run the cable along the top of the hard disk drive (HDD) backplane assembly
     toward the left side of the server, tucking the cable under the two
     protrusions at the rear of the HDD backplane assembly as you do so.

   Note: The HDD backplane assembly is at the immediate rear of the fan platform.

     2) Make sure to tuck the cable between the server left side and the HDD
     backplane support; then, continue along the server left side to the
     server left front corner.
   

    
   
6.  Reattach the cable to the operator LED panel.

   Note: If you have difficulty connecting the cable, turn the cable connector over and try again;  the cable connector is keyed to connect only one way.

7.  Move the operator LED panel and bracket to the inside of the server, in its new location -1-.

Note: Ensure that the tabs on the back of the cover fit into the slots on the back of the server.
Be sure the front edge of the cover is flat against the server.
