Accessing a Rack Mounted Server

The hp Integrity cx2600 Server is designed to be rack mounted. The following procedure explains how to gain access to an hp Integrity cx2600 Server that is mounted in an approved rack.




	WARNING! Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate ballast properly placed, and so on) are employed prior to extending the server.

Installing Components When the Server is in a Rack

Power supplies, disks and fans can be installed when the server is fully inserted into a rack. Only front and rear access is required.

Internal components can be accessed by removing the top cover. Proceed as follows:




	WARNING! Hazardous energy is present inside the HP Server. Always remove power from the server before working inside the unit. Serious injury may result if this warning is not observed.




	NOTE: Ensure that there is enough area (approximately 1.5 meters [5 ft.]) to fully extend the server out the front of the rack and work on it.

Turn off and disconnect system power. Disconnect power at the DC source end of the power cable(s), using the disconnect device that is part of the rack or facility power system.
Label and disconnect all cables from the unit rear panel connectors.
Remove or loosen (as appropriate) the screws that fasten the server to the rack.
If the server is slide-mounted, slowly pull the chassis forward (or push from the rear) to extend the chassis from the rack. The server is fully extended when the rail clips are locked in place. If the server is tray-mounted, it is not held in the rack and can fall from its mounting. Do not extend the server from the rack but remove it from the rack for internal access.
Remove the top cover. Refer to “Removing the Top Cover”.
