Remove the Server From the Rack

Caution:

The server weighs approximately 76 lbs (34 kg). A mechanical lift or two people are required to remove the server from the rack and carry the chassis.

Use a mechanical lift or two people to remove and transport the chassis.

  1. Disconnect all the cables and power cords from the server.
  2. Remove the cable management arm (CMA).
  3. Extend the server to the maintenance position.
  4. From the front of the server on both sides, pull the gray slide-rail release tabs toward the front of the server, and pull the server out of the rack until it is free of the rack rails [1 and 2].

    Use a mechanical lift or two people to remove the chassis from the rack and transport it.

    A slide-rail release tab is located on each slide-rail.

    Note:

    To pull the gray slide-rail release tab, place your finger in the center of the tab, not on the end, and apply pressure as you pull the tab toward the front of the server.

    Figure showing the server being removed from the chassis.
