Removal and Replacement Procedures

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 round-hole rack
cabinet, you can use the locking feature of the rack rails to support the server and gain
access to internal components.
•
Power down the server.
If you must remove the server from a rack or a non-hot-plug component from the server,
power down the server and disconnect the power cables before removal.
•
Remove the server from the rack.
If the rack environment, cabling configuration, or the server location in the rack creates
unmanageable conditions, remove the server from the rack. If the server is installed in a
telco rack, you must remove the server from the rack to access internal components.
