IBM P 615 series User Manual

Placing the Model 6C3 into the Service Position
Attention: When placing the Model 6C3 into the service position, it is essential that all stability plates
are firmly in position to prevent the rack from toppling (see the illustration on page 285). Ensure that only
one system drawer is in the service position at a time.
Attention: Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system are placed in the cable management arm
correctly. If the cables catch or bind as you are pulling the system forward in the rack, the power cable
may be pulled out of its connector causing data to be lost if the system is on.
Note:
Before doing any work inside the Model 6C3, place the system into the service position.
To place the Model 6C3 in to the service position, do the following:
1. Open the front rack door.
2. If your system is equipped with two thumbscrews securing it to the rack, remove the thumbscrews. The
screws are located on the bezel, just above each system drawer release latch.

3. Release the system drawer release latches on both the left and right sides.
4. Pull the system drawer out from the rack until the rails are fully extended.
Notes:
1. Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system do not catch or bind as you pull the system drawer
forward in the rack.
2. If the procedure you are performing requires you to unplug cables from the rear of the system, do
so before you pull the system drawer out from the rack.
