Removing the Chassis from the Rack

The process of removing the chassis from the rack is the reverse of the installation procedure.

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.

1. Remove the power to your system, then remove all screws from the GPU and CPU trays. See Accessing the System for details on removing the GPU and CPU trays.

2. Pull the trays out one at a time until all remaining trays have been removed.

3. Remove the system as illustrated below.

1. If necessary, loosen the thumb screws on the front of the chassis that hold it in the rack.

2. Pull the chassis forward out the front of the rack until it stops.

3. Press the release latches on each of the inner rails downward simultaneously and continue to pull the chassis forward and out of the rack.
