Removing the server from the rack

WARNING:

This server is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment:

  • Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material handling.

  • Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the product is not fastened to the rails. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that a minimum of two people are required for all rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server when the server is installed higher than chest level.

  • Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable when not fastened to the rails.

    1. Disconnect all peripheral cables from the server.
    2. Disconnect each power cord from the server.
  3. Extend the server from the rack.
