Yes I thought of the drill idea, but I was hoping for a different solution with less chance of getting metal filings inside the server. I'll see if I can get a replacement from IBM. <br />
<br />
If anyone has any other reccomendations , that would be great. I would like to get inside the server asap.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My firm was given a server<br />
it is an IBM eserver xseries server<br />
<br />
The key for the server (physical key ) was not provided and the side of the server is locked.<br />
<br />
Does anyone know where I can get a replacement key or a way to break into the server ?<br />
<br />
Thanks

Cannot physically access server ( missing server key)

Servers are computing devices that are similar to desktop computers in that they have the same basic components, but are significantly different in size, configuration and purpose. Servers are usually accessed over a network, and many run unattended, without a computer monitor, input device, audio hardware or USB interfaces. Many servers do not have a graphical user interface (GUI), and are configured and managed remotely. Servers typically include hardware redundancy such as dual power supplies, RAID disk systems, and ECC memory, along with extensive pre-boot memory testing and verification. Critical components might be hot swappable, and to guard against overheating, servers might have more powerful fans or use water cooling.
