Placing an 8348-21C system into the operating position

Learn how to place an IBM® Power® System S812LC (8348-21C) system into the operating position.

Before you begin

When you place the system in the operating position, ensure that the cables at the rear of the system do not catch or bind as you push the system unit back into the rack.

Procedure

  1. If you removed the rail holders from the side of the system, reattach the rail holders. Replace the screws that secure the rail holders to the system.
  2. If you removed the system from the rails, reattach the system to the rails. Depending on the weight of the system, you need two people to lift the system, carry it, and replace it in the rack.
  3. If you removed the power supplies, replace them. For instructions, see Replacing a power supply in the 8348-21C.
  4. If you removed the front drives, replace them in their proper locations. For instructions, see Replacing a front drive in the 8348-21C.
  5. Release the rail safety latches (A) by lifting them upward, as shown in Figure 1, then push the system fully into the rack.
