Extending front drive cages out of a rack-mounted chassis
Prerequisites
The chassis is already mounted on a rack
Procedure
1. If installed, remove the security bezel (Remove the bezel).
2. Remove the shipping screws on the rack ears.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, adequately stabilize the rack
before extending a component outside the rack. Extend only one component at a time. A rack may become
unstable if more than one component is extended.
CAUTION: Do not operate the system for long periods with the front drive cages extended. When the front
drive cages are extended while the system is powered on, monitor the status of the front drive temp sensor (08-
HD Max) in iLO. If the iLO temp sensor (08-HD Max) reading is reporting an N/A value, monitor how long the
drive cages have been out of the chassis. Before reaching the 110 second mark, slide the drive cages back into
the chassis and keep them there for at least 300 seconds before extending them again.
Failure to observe this caution will result in improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead to thermal
damage.
3. Extend the front drive cages by pulling down on the front drive cage release latches and extending the front and
internal drive cages out of the chassis.
