Replacing the system processor assembly

Replace the system processor assembly after you have installed the system onto the rails.

CAUTION:
The system processor assembly requires two people to install into the system.
  1. Slide both the rails out of the enclosure (A) until the slide release buttons (one on each side) lock into place.

  2. Install the system processor assembly:
    1. With the rails extended and locked in position, and two people (one person on each side of the system processor assembly), lift the system processor assembly by using both handles on each side.
    2. Position the system outside of the slide rails so that with the three pins on either side of the processor assembly are slightly above the rails.
    3. Carefully move the system horizontally toward the rack, until the three pins on each side are over their respective slots on the rails.
    4. With the system processor assembly secured on the rails, lift the slide release buttons (one on each side) to unlock the rails (B).
    5. By using the lower handles, slide the system processor assembly completely into the enclosure.

    2. Rotate the handles (C) up and push them toward the enclosure until they lock into place.
    3. Tighten both of the captive screws (D), if present.
      Note: Do not overtighten the captive screws.
