Attention: Refer to "Safety and environmental notices" on page xiii before performing any service

Attention: To ensure proper air circulation and cooling, filler panels (see "Blank fillers" on page 224)
must be installed in all blank spaces in the cabinet. If you remove any devices, fill the blank spaces with
filler panels.

Director power-off procedure

Use the following procedure to power-off a director before attempting to remove or replace any rack
components. For more specific instructions to power off a particular device, refer to the installation and
service guide for that particular product.
Attention: Removing power to a mounted director or other device has an adverse effect on the
customer's systems and networks if they are not properly prepared. Inform the customer before you
power off any product.
1. Open the rear door of the rack. Check the power cabling from the device that is attached to the iPDU
that you are servicing. Most devices have dual power cords, which are plugged into iPDUs with
independent ac sources.
2. Before you power off the director, make sure that the customer has removed, dismounted, or taken
the devices off line from their systems.
3. Turn off the ac power switches (circuit breakers) of the devices connected to the iPDU you are
servicing.
4. Unplug the power cord from the customer's ac power outlet(s).
5. Unplug all power cords from the iPDU you are servicing.

Removing and replacing the iPDUs

For all racks with serial numbers ending in an alphabetic character, iPDUs for the directors and other
devices are mounted only in the side cutouts. See "Side-mounted iPDUs" on page 219 for instructions on
removing and replacing side-mounted iPDUs.
