Safety Precautions

A fully-loaded chassis weighs approximately 125 pounds. Do not attempt to remove a chassis from
the rack by yourself.
You do not need to completely remove the chassis from the rack to replace a BaseIO card. Slide the
chassis out the front of the rack until the safety locks engage at the halfway point to keep the chassis
in place. Then, remove the front top cover to access parts for replacement.
Be sure to observe all ESD, electrical, and safety precautions when you perform the BaseIO card
replacement procedure. For more information, refer to the SGI UV 300 System User Guide, SGI
publication number 007-6351-00x.
