Chapter 3: Removing Modules and Disconnecting Cabling 12
Disconnecting Cable Sets
To disassemble a frame to move or expand a system, you should disconnect and remove all Cable Sets.
To disconnect Cable Sets:
1
Standing behind the system, start at either end and disconnect the Ethernet Cable Set from the back of the first chassis (far left
or far right).
2
Disconnect the other ends of that Cable Set from the S6 network switch, taking note of its switch ports.
You do not have to reconnect to the same switch ports but doing so can simplify re-assembly.
3
Place the removed Cable Set aside.
4
Move to the next chassis, disconnect its Cable Set, then disconnect the other ends from their network switch ports.
5
Repeat for all remaining Cable Sets.
6
Disconnect the Ethernet cable(s) that connect the S6 network switch to external workstations or networks, and remove it from
the frame.
7
If your system includes two network switches, be sure to disconnect the cable connecting them to each other.
8
When all Cable Sets are removed, proceed to
Chapter 4, “Detaching Chassis.”

If you have not already done so, make sure to disconnect the AC power cables for the network switch(es) and PSUs from the S6
Power Strip, and remove the Power Strip from the back of the frame.
