Placing the rack-mounted 8248-L4T, 8408-E8D, or 9109-RMD system into the service position

Use this procedure to place the rack-mounted system into the service position.

Notes:
  • When placing the system into the service position, it is essential that all stability plates are firmly in position to prevent the rack from toppling. Ensure that only one system unit is in the service position at a time.
  • Ensure that the cables at the rear of the system unit do not catch or bind as you pull the system unit forward in the rack.
  • When the rails are fully extended, the rail safety latches lock into place. This action prevents the system from being pulled out too far.
To place a rack-mounted system into the service position, complete the following steps:
  1. Open the front rack door.
  2. Identify the system unit that you are servicing in the rack.
  3. Release the side latches (B) and pull the latches to slide out the Central Electronics Complex (CEC) Advanced System Management (ASM).
    Note: If the system was shipped in a rack, then unscrew the shipping screws (A).
