Service Equipment in the Rack
Caution -
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, always load the
heaviest item first from the bottom of the rack up. This arrangement makes the rack bottom-
heavy and helps prevent the rack from becoming unstable.
Caution -
To reduce the risk of personal injury, ensure that the rack is adequately stabilized
before extending a component outside the rack. A rack might become unstable and tip over if
more than one component is extended for any reason.
Note -
Extend only one piece of equipment out of the rack at a time. Secure a component into a
rack completely before installing another component.
Note -
If you need to remove equipment from the rack, use a mechanical lift to lift the
equipment. Otherwise, get help before attempting to lift heavy equipment.
1.
If necessary, shut down and power off the equipment about to be serviced.
Refer to the equipment documentation for the specific instructions.
Note - Depending on the serviceable component, you might be able to service the component
without powering off the equipment. For example, you might be able to replace air filters
or hot-swap disk drives without powering off the equipment. Refer to your equipment
documentation for these service procedures.
2. If required, power off the rack.
You might not need to power off the rack to service installed equipment. However, if you need
to power off the rack, see “Power Off the Rack” on page 49 for instructions.
3. Extend the rack's anti-tilt bar.
See “Extend the Anti-tilt Bar” on page 47 for instructions.
4. Attach an antistatic wrist strap.
See “Attach an Antistatic Wrist Strap” on page 48 for instructions.
5. Service the installed equipment.
Refer to the equipment service manual, or other documentation, for the specific service
procedures.
