REMOVING THE VTL APPLIANCE FROM A RACK

Removing the VTL appliance from a rack

This procedure assumes you have turned off the server, removed the cable management arm, and removed any cables or cords that would restrict the movement of the server.

Preparing to remove the appliance

1.If you have not already done so, shutdown main (server) and standby (service processor) power, as described in “Shutting off system power” on page 49.

2.If you have not already done so, remove the cable management arm (CMA), as described in “Removing the cable management arm” on page 50.

3.Have a mechanical lift on hand, if at all possible.

Caution – The VTL Value appliance weighs 160 pounds (72.7 kg) when fully loaded with components. To prevent injury to personnel or damage to the equipment, Sun strongly recommends using a mechanical lift when installing the server in a rack.

4.If a mechanical lift is not available, make sure that at least four trained people are available to remove the server and/or reduce the weight of the server by removing components:

Remove both power supplies.

Remove the system controller.

Label the hard disk drives in slots 2 to 46 and then remove them (you will reinstall the drives in their original slots using the labels as a guide).

Do not uninstall the fan trays or the bootable drives in slots 0 and 1.

5.If a mechanical lift is available, make sure that at least three trained people are available to install the server in the rack.

It takes two people to operate the lift and install the server and one additional person to insure that the rails are engaged correctly.

Next task: “Removing the appliance from the rack” on page 51.

Removing the appliance from the rack

1.From the front of the rack, squeeze the slide-rail locks (with green plastic handles) to release the lock and pull the server about 1.5 inches from the rack.

2.Push the green plastic tabs on the middle slide rails to release the first stop.
