Removing the Chassis from the Rack
Important: Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Important: Use caution when mounting or removing the system from the rack. For large systems, at least one other person must assist during installation or removal. Follow the safety recommendations printed on the rails. Depending on the size of the system, you might need to use a lift.
