Removing the rack top cover
The top 2U of the rack can be temporarily detached to make it easier to move through doors or into elevators.
You can reattach the top 2U to the rack frame to provide the full 42U rack capacity. The rack is approximately 4.25" shorter with the top removed.
Note: You must use a 6-point (pt) box
socket with an extension bar to remove the screws from the top cover. Other tools might cause the
screw heads to become rounded and difficult to remove.
To remove the rack top cover, complete
the following steps:- Locate the front and rear rack braces, M6 nut clips, and M6 screws. Fasten each rack brace at
the top of the front and rear of the rack, just below the top cover.
Figure 1. Fastening the rack braces - Remove the four corner screws from the top cover.
Figure 2. Removing the corner screws - Remove the remaining screws from the top cover.
Figure 3. Removing the remaining screws - Lift off the top cover.
