Preparation procedures
To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must perform one or more of the following procedures:
- Power down the server.
If you must remove the chassis from a rack or a non-hot-plug component from the chassis or server, then you must power down the servers. If only one server requires to be serviced, power down only that server.
If you are going to service the management module, you must power down all servers in the chassis.
- Remove the chassis from the rack.
- Remove the server from the chassis.
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the chassis location in the rack creates unstable conditions, then remove the server from the chassis.
