REDUCING SYSTEM WEIGHT
If all FRU components arrive preinstalled, removing them from the enclosure
may be necessary to reduce system weight before installing the enclosure into
the rack. Removing these FRUs can reduce the total weight by as much as 29.2
pounds (13.3 kilograms). This section provides instructions on removing the
FRU components to minimize system weight for rack installation.
