Removing or extending the server from the rack cabinet
If the server is installed in a rack cabinet, remove or extend the server from the rack cabinet before installing
or replacing hardware. Depending on the rail type, do one of the following:
• If the server is installed in a rack cabinet using static rails, remove the server from the rack cabinet and
place it on a flat, clean, and static-protective surface. See the Rack Installation Instructions that comes
with the server.
• If the server is installed in a rack cabinet using slide rails, press the rack handles to extend the server from
the rack cabinet. However, if the working environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the
rack cabinet creates awkward conditions, remove the server from the rack cabinet. See the Rack
