Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position
Preparing for Service 57
If the server is installed in a rack with extendable slide-rails, use this procedure to extend the
server to the maintenance position.
1. To prevent the rack from tipping forward when the server is extended, extend all
rack anti-tilt devices.
Caution -
To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the expansion rack cabinet and extend
all anti-tilt devices before extending the server from the rack.
For instructions for stabilizing the rack, see the “Stabilize the Rack for Installation” in Oracle
Server X6-2 Installation Guide .
2. Verify that no cables will be damaged or will interfere when the server is
extended.
Although the cable management arm (CMA) that is supplied with the server is hinged to
accommodate extending the server, you should ensure that all cables and cords are capable of
extending.
3. From the front of the server, open and hold the left and right release latch covers
in the open position (see Figure 4 ).
When in an open position, the release latch covers engage the slide-rail release latches [frame
1].
