1. Make sure that all cables, adapters, and other components are installed and seated correctly and that you have not left loose tools or parts inside the server. Also, make sure that all internal cables are correctly routed.
   Important: Before you slide the top cover forward, make sure that all the tabs and the pins on the top and side of the top cover engage the chassis correctly.
2. Place the cover-release latch in the open (up) position.
3. Position the top cover on top of the server.
4. Insert the bottom tabs of the top cover into the matching slots in the server chassis.
