trays, and power supplies.
• To remove a power supply, follow these steps:
1.
Slide the handle in the middle of the ejector lever towards the end of the lever and rotate the lever away from
the power supply.
2.
Pull the power supply a couple of inches (about 5 cm) out of the chassis.
3.
Place one hand under the power supply to support its weight and pull the power supply out of the chassis.
4.
Place the power supply on an antistatic surface.
• To remove a fan tray, follow these steps:
1.
Unscrew the four captive screws on the front of the fan tray (one captive screw in each corner of the front of
the fan tray).
2.
Hold both handles on the fan tray with both of your hands and pull the fan tray out of the chassis.
3.
Place the fan tray on an antistatic surface.
• To remove a fabric module, follow these steps:
Before you can remove a fabric module, you must remove the fan tray that is installed in front of it.
Note
1.
Unscrew the captive screw on each of two ejector levers on the back of the fabric module.
2.
Rotate both of the levers away from the fabric module.
3.
When the other end of each lever is no longer holding onto the chassis, pull the two levers to slide the module
a couple inches out of the chassis.
4.
Rotate the two levers back to the fabric module and secure them to the module by screwing in the captive
screw on each lever. Tighten each captive screw to 8 in-lb (0.9 N·m).
5.
Place one hand on the front of the module and place your other hand under the module to support its weight.
