Removing the Rack Model from a Rack



Removing the Rack Model from a Rack Enclosure:

In some configurations, installing options in the rack model might be more convenient if you remove the server from the rack enclosure.
For example, you might prefer to remove the server if you are installing an internal drive in a rack model that is installed in the bottom bay in a rack enclosure.

Before you begin

 


Caution Use safe lifting practices when lifting the machine.

To remove the Netfinity 5000 from a rack enclosure:
  1.  Remove the screws from each front bracket. Set the screws aside for later use.
  2.  Slide the server out of the rack.
  3.  If you have a modem or fax machine attached to the server, disconnect the telephone  line from the wall outlet and the server.

    NOTE: If you are in the United Kingdom, you must perform this step before  disconnecting the power cord.

  4.  Disconnect all cables and power cords from the rear of the server.
  5.  Remove the two screws from the cable-arm bracket.
  6.  Press the safety release latch on each slide rail.
  7.  Lift the server at a slight angle, and pull it from the slide rails.  Then place the server on a flat, nonconductive surface.
