Preparation Procedures - HP ProLiant DL585 Maintenance And Service Manual

Preparation Procedures

To access some components and perform certain service procedures, you must do one or
more of the following:
•
Extend the server from the rack.
If you are performing service procedures in an HP, Compaq branded, or third-party rack
cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain
access to internal components.

•
Access internal components.
If you need to access internal components for removal or replacement, you can remove
the access panel without removing the server from the rack.
•
Power down the server.
NOTE: Do not power down the server if you are performing a hot-plug procedure.
•
Remove the server from the rack.
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack creates
awkward conditions, remove the server from the rack.
