Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform one or more of the
following procedures:
•
Extend the server from the rack (on page 30).
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, telco, or third-party rack
cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain access to
internal components.
For more information about telco rack solutions, refer to the RackSolutions.com website
(http://www.racksolutions.com/hp
).
•
Power down the server (on page 31).
If you must remove a server from a rack or a non-hot-plug component from a server, power down the
server.
•
Remove the server from the rack (on page 31).
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack creates awkward
conditions, remove the server from the rack.
Extend the server from the rack
IMPORTANT: If the server is installed in a telco rack, remove the server from the rack to access
internal components.
1.
Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the rack
is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when pressing the server rail-
release latches and sliding the server into the rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
