12. Set system into service position
Note: When placing the system into the service position, it is essential that all stability plates are
firmly in position to prevent the rack from toppling.
Note: Ensure that only one system node is in the service position at a time.
a. While holding down the system node release latches on both the left and right sides, pull the
system node out from the rack until the rails are fully extended and locked.
Note: When the system node rails are fully extended, the rail safety latches lock into place. This
action prevents the system node from being pulled out too far.
b. While holding down the system node release latches on both the left and right sides, pull the
system node out from the rack until the rails are fully extended and locked.
13. Secure node with lift tool and position ladder
Note: Perform the following step with the help of another SSR only if the slide rails of the node
being serviced are above EIA location 29U.
a. Gently raise the lift tool platform to stably contact the bottom of the drawer, minding not to over
force it as it could put upward stress on the slide rails.
b. While using the ladder, do not lean on or against the system drawer or lift tool during service,
and follow safe practices.
c. Disengage the front two pins by elevating the front of the tilt table using the table lift handle.
d. Manually push the system forward slightly away from the rack.
e. Raise the lift tool to disengage the rear pins.
f. Push the sliderails in and then level the tilt table.
g. Lower the lift tool to perform the service action at a lower height.
