Removal and replacement procedures 31
WARNING: This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
• Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
• Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. HP recommends that a minimum of two people are required
for all rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server if the
server is installed higher than chest level.
• Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.
To remove the server from an HP, Compaq-branded, Telco, or a third-party rack:
1. Power down the server (on page 27).
2. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
3. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
4. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
5. Remove the server from the rack.
For instructions on how to extend or remove the server from the rack, see the documentation that ships
with the rack rail system.
6. Place the server on a sturdy, level surface.
