Removing the rack top cover (Customer task)

The top 2U of the FlashSystem 9200R rack can be temporarily detached to make it easier to move through doors or into elevators.

About this task

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.
