The server must be removed from the rack to service the following components:
■ Motherboard
■ Power distribution board
■ Power supply backplane
■ Paddle card
■ Drives cage
■ Drives backplane
■ Front panel light-pipe assemblies
Caution – If necessary, use two people to dismount and carry the
chassis.
To remove a server from the rack:
1. Disconnect all the cables and power cords from the server.
2. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
See Section 2.5, “Extending the Server to the Maintenance Position” on page 2-5.
3. Press the metal lever that is located on the inner side of the rail to disconnect
the cable management arm (CMA) from the rail assembly (

The CMA is still attached to the cabinet, but the server chassis is now
disconnected from the CMA.
