Before you begin
Attention:
• When you place the system into the service position, it is essential that all stability plates are
rmly in position to prevent the rack from toppling.
• Ensure that only one system unit is in the service position at a time.
• Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system unit do not catch or bind as you pull the system
unit forward in the rack.
• When the rails are fully extended, the rail safety latches lock into place. This action prevents the
system from being pulled out too far.
Procedure
1. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap on and that the ESD clip is plugged
into a ground jack or connected to an unpainted metal surface. If not, do so now.
2. Open the side latches (A) and pull the latches to slide the system unit fully into the service position,
until the slides click and hold the system unit securely. Ensure that the screws inside the latches are
not secured to the rack.
Remove the hook-and-loop fasteners that secure the cable management arms. Ensure that the cable
management arms can move freely. Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system do not catch or
bind as you pull the system unit into the service position.
Do not pull out or install any drawer or feature if the rack stabilizer brackets are not attached to the
rack. Do not pull out more than one drawer at a time. The rack might become unstable if you pull out
more than one drawer at a time.
