How to Remove the System From the Rack

With the exception of removing and replacing the main logic board and the power distribution board, qualified service providers can perform all other service procedures while the system is extended from the rack and still attached to the rack rails. If qualified service providers want to remove the system from the rack for any other reason, they should follow the instructions in this section.

Caution Unless the rack is bolted to the floor, you must extend the cabinet’s anti- tip legs and adjust their stabilizing feet to the floor. Level and secure the cabinet to provide a safe working environment.

Caution The chassis is heavy. Two persons are required to remove the system from the rack enclosure in the following steps.

Before You Begin

Complete these tasks:

Identify a helper to assist you in removing the system.

Discuss each task step and verify that your helper can safely lift and carry 34 lb (17 kg), which is approximately half the weight of a fully-equipped system.

Review the steps in the procedure with your helper beforehand and discuss how to coordinate your efforts to ensure your mutual safety.

Caution When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.
