Removing the Server from the Rack

To remove the server from your Compaq, Telco, or third-party rack:

1. Power down the server. See the "Powering Down the Server" section in this chapter.

2. Loosen the front panel thumbscrews that secure the server faceplate to the front of the

rack.

3. Remove the server from the rack. Refer to the setup and installation guide or the

documentation that ships with your rack-mounting option.

4. Place the server on a sturdy, level surface.

You can perform some service procedures as hot-plug procedures without powering down the

server. Before performing hot-plug procedures, observe the following guidelines:

For hot-plug fan procedures, ensure that the fan zone is fully populated.

For hot-plug power supply procedures, ensure that a redundant power supply is installed

and connected to a power source.
