Removal and replacement procedures 15
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or
damage to the equipment, adequately stabilize the rack before
extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one
component at a time. A rack may become unstable if more than
one component is extended.
WARNING: When installing a server in a telco rack, be
sure that the rack frame is adequately secured to the top and
bottom of the building structure.
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 ("Extending the server from the rack" on
page 16
).
If you are performing service procedures in a Compaq branded rack, telco
rack, 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 (http://www.racksolutions.com/hp).
•
Power down the server ("Powering down the server" on page 16).
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 ("Removing the server from the rack" on
page 18
).
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the
rack creates awkward conditions, remove the server from the rack.
