persuade the HP site to tell me which generation or model number this is.
Is this the right site?

I would have though it would be on the HPE website, but there is this for the N40L on the old HP website

I haven't yet found a YouTube video for a matching model. I've found one
that shows how to remove the casing, but that model has two thumbscrews,
top left and top right of the back of the case. Mine only has a single
one, top centre of the back, and it does not *seem* to release the lid.
I can find lots of "instructions" for the various models on the HP site,
but very few "GA" drawings and none of the "click for video" links work.

I haven't watched this, but it sounds like it might help, if he's not
too annoying

That's a Microserver Gen7 N40L.

There isn't a lid, there's a front.
Remove anything from the front USB ports. Unscrew the thumbscrew at the top rear. Open the front door. Facing the front of the unit, grab the top with your hand and pull it towards you, pushing back against the internal drive cage with your other hand. The front should slide towards you about a centimetre and then unlatch. It may be stiff the first time.
Once that piece is out it's possible to unhitch the door, although there's not usually a need for that.
The optical bay has a plastic bay cover as part of the lid/front that can
be removed, and then a metal piece which is spot welded in - you need to twist it to break the welds and allow it to be removed.
