Chapter 2 Preparing to Service the System 2-5
2.5 Extending the Server to the Maintenance
Position
The following components can be serviced with the server in the maintenance
position:
■ Hard drives/SSDs
■ Fan modules
■ Power supplies
■ DVD/USB module
■ Fan power boards
■ FB-DIMMs
■ PCIe cards
■ Motherboard battery
If the server is installed in a rack with extendable slide rails, use this procedure to
extend the server to the maintenance position.
1. (Optional) Type the following command from the service processor (SP) prompt
-> to locate the system that requires maintenance.
ELOM
-> set /SYS/LOCATE status=on
Locator indicator is on.
or
ILOM
-> set /SYS/LOCATE value=on
Locator indicator is on.
After you have located the server, press the Locator LED/Locator button to turn it
off.
2. Verify that no cables will be damaged or will interfere when the server is
extended.
Although the cable management arm (CMA) that is supplied with the server is
hinged to accommodate extending the server, you should ensure that all cables
and cords are capable of extending.
3. From the front of the server, release the two slide release latches (
FIGURE 2-3).
Squeeze the green slide release latches to release the slide rails.
