You should also have at least two persons to push the chassis when you slide it
onto the rack.
Note
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must
take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following
guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit
in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the
bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before
mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
Note
Step 1 If you need to make the chassis as light as possible for moving, you can optionally remove the fabric modules, fan
modules, and power supplies.
a) To remove a power supply, follow these steps:
1. Push and hold the release handle on the power supply to the left.
2. Pull the power supply about two inches (about 5 cm) out of the chassis.
3. Place one hand under the power supply to support its weight and pull the power supply out of the chassis.
4. Place the power supply on an antistatic surface.
b) To remove a fan module, follow these steps:
1. Unscrew the four captive screws on the front of the fan module (one captive screw in each corner of the front
of the fan module).
2. Hold both handles on the fan module with both of your hands and pull the fan module out of the chassis.
3. Place the fan module on an antistatic surface.
c) To remove a fabric module, follow these steps:
Before you can remove a fabric module, you must remove the fan module that is installed in front of
it.
Note
1. Press the lever eject button found in the middle of the front of the module.
2. Rotate both of the levers away from the fabric module.
3. When the other end of each lever is no longer holding onto the chassis, pull the two levers to slide the module
a couple inches out of the chassis.
