3. Release the rack latches (C) on both the left and right sides, as shown in the Figure 2-20.

4. Review the following notes, and then slowly pull the system or expansion unit out from the 

rack until the rails are fully extended and locked:

– If the procedure you are performing requires you to unplug cables from the back of the 

system or expansion unit, do so before you pull the unit out from the rack.

– Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system or expansion unit do not catch or bind 

as you pull the unit out from the rack.

– When the rails are fully extended, the rail safety latches lock into place. This action 

prevents the system or expansion unit from being pulled out too far.

The IBM Systems Hardware Information Center is available for more information or to view 
available video-clips that describe several of the maintenance repair-action procedures.

The rack-mounted model is shipped with a cable-management arm to route all the cables 
through the hooks along the cable arm and secure them with the straps provided. The 
cable-management arm simplifies the cables management in the case of a service action that 
requires you to pull out the rack-mounted system from the rack.

Caution: This unit weighs approximately 43 kg (95 lb.). Ensure that you can safely 
support this weight when removing the server unit from the system rack.
