configurations.
WARNING
Do not remove the system cover(s) without first turning the system off and
unplugging the power cord from the outlet or power protection device unless you
are only replacing a hot-swappable fan. Always replace the cover(s) before turning
the system on.
Accessing a Rack Mounted Server
The HP Integrity rx2620 server is designed to be rack mounted. The following procedure explains how to gain
access to an HP Integrity rx26xx or rp34xx server that is mounted in an approved rack.
WARNING
Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate
ballast properly placed, etc.) are employed prior to extending the server.
Extending the Server from the Rack
NOTE
Ensure that there is enough area (approximately 1.5 meters (4.5 ft.) to fully extend the server
out the front of the rack and work on it.
To extend the server from the rack, perform the following steps:
Step 1.
Remove the T-25 screws that fasten the server to the rack.
Step 2.
Release the rack latches by rotating them outward.
