Review the following notes, and then slowly pull the system unit out from the rack until the
rails are fully extended and locked.
– If the procedure you are performing requires you to unplug cables from the back of the
system unit, do so before you pull the unit out from the rack.
– Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system unit do not catch or bind as you pull the
unit out from the rack.
– When the rails are fully extended, the rail safety latches lock into place. This action
prevents the system unit from being pulled out too far.

2.9.3 Operator control panel
The service processor provides an interface to the control panel, which is used to display
system status and diagnostic information. The OpenPower 710 server has a control panel
that is a re-packaging of existing control panels, so that it fits into a smaller space. In its
normal position, the control panel is seated inside the chassis, on the left of the DVD optical
device if you stand in front of the server. The LCD display is invisible from the front. To read
the LCD display, the client or engineer pulls the op-panel out toward the front.
Note: Systems managed by the Hardware Management Console (HMC) should use the
HMC to perform control panel functions.
Accessing and storage of the control panel
To access all of the control panel's features, do the following (refer to Figure 2-10):
Press inward on the spring-loaded tab (A) located on the right side of the control panel (B)
so that it pops out slightly.
Pull the control panel out toward the front of the system until it can be pivoted downward
on its hinge.
