Moving the Xserve RAID System

If you need to move the system after you have mounted it in a rack or cabinet, you must
follow the precautions listed below.

Before moving a rack or cabinet that contains the Xserve RAID system:

m If feasible, remove the system from the rack and remount it after moving the rack or

cabinet; always use two people to hold or carry the system.

m If you cannot remove the system, carefully secure the rack screws on the front and rear of

the system.

m Check the fastening tabs or handle on each component on the back panel to be sure that

all are firmly closed and in place.

Warning

Make certain that the system is securely fastened to the rack or cabinet and

that all components are firmly in place before attempting to move the rack or cabinet. If
the system or components are not secure, moving the system could result in injury or
damage to the hardware.
