WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
CAUTION: Do not operate the server for long periods with the access panel open or removed.
Operating the server in this manner results in improper airflow and improper cooling that can
lead to thermal damage.
Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform one or more of the
following procedures:
• Extend the server from the rack (on page 25).
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party rack
cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access to
internal components.
For more information about telco rack solutions, refer to the
RackSolutions.com website
(

• Power down the server (on page 26).
If you must remove a server from a rack or a non-hot-plug component from a server, power down the
server.
• Remove the server from the rack (on page 27).
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack creates awkward
conditions, remove the server from the rack.
Extend the server from the rack
1. Pull down the quick release levers on each side of the server.
2. Extend the server from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack
is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
