even after you remove the drives, power supply units, secondary expander
modules, canisters, fans, and cover, the enclosure weighs 43 kg (95 lbs).
Procedure
Sliding the expansion enclosure out of the rack
Note: You can accomplish most service actions when the expansion enclosure is
fully extended from the rack on its slide rails.
1. Loosen the locking thumb screws (▌1▐) on the front of the enclosure, as shown
in Figure 87.
2. Carefully slide the enclosure forward out of the rack (▌2▐), as shown in
Figure 87.
3. Locate the left and right blue release tabs near the front of the enclosure. Pull
both release tabs forward to unlock the drawer mechanism (▌3▐ in Figure 87).
4. Slide the enclosure and inner rail member out of the rack (▌4▐ in Figure 87).
For safety, ensure that a mechanical lift or other mechanism is available to
support the weight of the enclosure.
