Removing the Card Cage Assembly
Perform the following steps to remove the card cage assembly (refer to Figure 14):
Caution An empty card cage assembly weighs 65 lb (29.5 kg). You need two people to safely lift the assembly. To prevent injury, keep your back straight and lift with your legs, not your back.
Step 1 Loosen the six captive screws on the front edges of the card cage assembly that secure it to the frame.
Step 2 With one person positioned on each side of the frame, grasp the handle at the top of each side of the card cage assembly and carefully slide the card cage assembly half way out of the front of the frame.
Step 3 With your free hand, grasp the handhold cutout on each side of the card cage assembly and carefully slide the card cage assembly completely out of the front of the frame.
If you plan to return the old card cage assembly to the factory, repackage it in the shipping container you received with the replacement card cage assembly.
