Placing the rack-mounted 8202-E4B, 8202-E4C, 8202-E4D, 8205-E6B, 8205-E6C, or 8205-E6D 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 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.
  1. Open the front rack door.
  2. Identify the system unit you are servicing in the rack.
  3. Remove the two screws (A) (if present) that secure the system unit (B) to the rack.
    Note: Replacing the shipping screws is optional but should be done in geographic areas that are prone to seismic activity.
