Step 4
Disconnect all cables that are connected to SFP28 transceivers.
Step 5 Remove the screws fastening the front rack-mount brackets to the mounting rails.

Repacking the Cisco UCS Fabric Interconnect for Return Shipment

If you need to return the fabric interconnect, remove the fabric interconnect from the rack and repack it for
shipment. If possible, use the original packing materials and container to repack the unit. Contact your Cisco
customer service representative to arrange for return shipment to Cisco.
Support both sides of the fabric interconnect when removing it from the rack. The slider rail and front
rack-mount brackets do not have a stop mechanism. If the front of the chassis is unfastened from the rack and
the chassis slides forward on the slider rails, it may slip off the end of the rails and fall out of the rack.
