In addition to the instructions in this chapter, refer to the manufacturer's user manuals for
the devices you are installing/removing.
Working on Rack Mounted Servers
Read the following warnings before performing maintenance on a rack-mounted server.
Failure to adhere to these warnings can result in serious injury and/or damage to
equipment.
❖
Never attempt to install or remove a server by yourself. At least two people are
required to install a server. Be particularly careful when installing a server near the
top of a rack or in a location that requires you to lift the server higher than chest level.
❖
Never slide the server and another unit (such as an extension disk unit) out of the
rack at the same time. Extending more than one device from the rack might cause it
to become unstable.
❖
Never place additional weight or apply a continuous excessive load to a server or
other unit that is extended from the rack. Such a load may damage the rack's rails or
cause the rack to become unstable.
❖
Never lean objects against the rack and do not lean against it. The rack might
become unstable and cause serious injury.
❖
When working at high locations around the rack, never lean ladders directly against
the rack or against units installed in the rack. The installed units may be damaged, or
the rack might become unstable and tip over, causing injury.
