Extending the server from the rack

To perform this procedure, you will need a T-25 screwdriver.

NOTE:

If the cable management arm option is installed, you can extend the server without powering down the server or disconnecting peripheral cables and power cords. These steps are only necessary with the standard cable management solution.

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.

Procedure
  1. If installed, remove the bezel.
  2. Power down the server.
  3. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords.
  4. Do the following:

    1. Open the latches on both sides of the server.

    2. If necessary, use a T-25 Torx screwdriver to loosen the shipping screws.

    3. Slide the server out of the rack.



  5. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.
