Removal and replacement procedures 26
•
Remove the server from the rack (on page 27).
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack makes it difficult to
service the unit, remove the server from the rack.
• Remove the access panel ("Removing the access panel" on page 28).
If you are servicing internal components, remove the access panel.
• Remove the system cage ("Removing the system cage" on page 29).
If you must remove the system board, power backplane, or the BBWC, remove the system cage.
Extending the server from the rack
The design of the server enables you to access several components through the front of the server.
Installing or accessing the following components will not require extending the server from the rack:
• Processors
• PPMs
• Memory boards
• DIMMs
• DVD drive
• Diskette drive
• Hard drives
To extend the server from the rack:
1. Release the two levers on the lower outside corners of the rack.
2. If the server is in a rack and in the shipping configuration, remove the two shipping screws directly
behind the levers.
3. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
NOTE: The release latches will lock into place when the rails are fully extended.
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.
