Removing the chassis from the equipment rack or system cabinet
You must remove the existing chassis from the equipment rack or system cabinet before you can install the new one.
Steps
1. Remove the screws from the chassis mount points.
2. Using two or three people, slide the chassis off the slide rails and set it aside.
Attention:
Depending on the system, you might need a third person to help you safely remove the chassis from the
equipment rack or system cabinet. See the weight stickers on the top of the chassis before you remove the chassis from the
equipment rack or system cabinet.
Installing the new chassis into the equipment rack or system cabinet
To install the new chassis in the equipment rack or system cabinet, you must perform a specific sequence of steps.
Steps
1. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
2. Using two or three people, install the empty chassis into the equipment rack or system cabinet by guiding the chassis onto
the rail guides in a system cabinet or angel wings in an equipment rack.
3. Slide the chassis all the way into the equipment rack or system cabinet.
4. Secure the rear of the chassis to the support rail, if applicable, using the screws you removed from the defective chassis.
5. Secure the front of the chassis to the equipment rack or system cabinet upright, using the screws you removed from the
chassis.
Installing the power supplies
Installing the power supplies requires that you place the power supply in the chassis, secure it, and reconnect the power cord to
it.
Steps
1. Make sure that the on/off switch of the new power supply is in the Off position.
2. If you are not already grounded, properly ground yourself.
3. Align the edges of the power supply with the opening in the system chassis, and gently push the power supply into the
chassis.
4. Push on the power supply cam handle to seat it all the way into the chassis, and then push the cam handle to the closed
position.
Attention:
Do not use excessive force when sliding the power supply into the system; you can damage the connector.
5. Reconnect the power cord.
Only connect the power cord to the power supply; do not connect the power cord to a power source yet.
