Installing and Removing Optional Devices

Sliding the server out of or into the rack

For installing an optional device to the server of the rack model, follow the
instructions mentioned below in addition to the cautions appearing in this
chapter.

WARNING: Don’t slide the server and another unit such as an extension disk
unit out of the rack at the same time. If two or more units are slid out of the
rack, the rack becomes unstable and it may topple down and may hurt neigh-
boring persons.

Don’t put any weight on the server slid out of the rack or don’t apply an exces-
sive load to it continuously, because such a load may cause the rail to be
damaged or the rack to be unstable. If the rack topples down, neighboring
persons may be injured.

For working on the higher part of the rack, don’t put a ladder directly on the
rack or the server to prevent the rail, rack and server from getting damaged or
unstable. If the rack topples down, neighboring persons may be injured.

For working on the higher part of the rack, don’t climb up on a chair with cast-
ers or the like for a stool, because it is not only unstable but may cause an
injury to the person on it if he falls down on the floor.

NOTE: Before sliding the server out of the rack, check to see if no cable con-
nected to its back disturbs the sliding mechanism.

To continue the installing/removing job as the server is slid out of the rack,
slide the server frontwards until it is secured by the lock on the rail.

If another system or an extension disk unit is installed in the rack besides the
server, be careful not to touch the eject lever of the hard disk drive mounted in
another system or the power switch of another system through the mecha-
nism.

Sliding the server (rack model) out of the rack

See “Installation Guide for MAGNIA-series Rack Models”

1 If there is an external device connected to the server, check the length of the

cable whether it is enough for sliding or not.

If the cable is too short to slide the server, disconnect it beforehand to avoid
unexpected disconnecting during sliding.
