Extend the server from the rack

NOTE: If the optional 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.

1. Power down the server.
2. Disconnect all peripheral cables and power cords.
3. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews.
4. Extend the server on the rack rails until the server rail-release latches engage.

   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.

5. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, slide the server into the rack:
   1. Slide the server fully into the rack.
   2. Secure the server by tightening the thumbscrews.
6. Connect the peripheral cables and power cords.
