How to Remove the System From the
Rack
With the exception of removing and replacing the main logic board, qualified service
providers can perform all other service procedures while the system is extended
from the rack and still attached to the rack rails. If qualified service providers want
to remove the system from the rack for any other reason, they should follow the
instructions in this section.
Caution – Unless the rack is bolted to the floor, you must extend the cabinet’s anti-
tip legs and adjust their stabilizing feet to the floor. Level and secure the cabinet to
provide a safe working environment.
Caution – The chassis is heavy. Two people are required to remove the system from
the rack enclosure in the following procedure.
Before You Begin
Complete this task:
■ Identify a helper to assist you in removing the system
Discuss the task and verify that your helper can safely lift and carry 34 lbs (17kg),
which is approximately half the weight of a fully-equipped system.
Review the steps in the next section with your helper beforehand and discuss how to
coordinate your efforts to ensure your mutual safety.
Caution – When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your
intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.
