Removal and replacement procedures 32
WARNING:
This server is very heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment:
•
Observe local occupational health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual
material handling.
•
Get help to lift and stabilize the product during installation or removal, especially when the
product is not fastened to the rails. HP recommends that a minimum of two people are required
for all rack server installations. A third person may be required to help align the server if the
server is installed higher than chest level.
•
Use caution when installing the server in or removing the server from the rack; it is unstable
when not fastened to the rails.
IMPORTANT:
The requirement of extending or removing the server from the rack when
performing installation and maintenance procedures depends on the rail system used:
•
If using a ball-bearing rail system, you can perform most installations and maintenance by
simply extending the server from the rack.
•
If using a friction rail system, to perform installations or maintenance that requires access panel
removal, remove the server from the rack.
