How to Remove the Server From the Rack

This procedure assumes that you have turned off the server, and removed any cables or cords that would restrict the movement of the server.

Before You Begin

---

Caution - The Sun Fire X4800 server weighs about 180 pounds (100 kg) when fully loaded with components. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to remove the sever from the rack. If a mechanical lift is not available, remove components to reduce weight and use two persons to lift it.

---

1. Disconnect all cables from the rear of the system.
2. If a lift is not available, remove components to reduce the system’s weight. See How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight.
3. Remove the four screws from the front bezel of the system.
   
4. Using two hands, slide the server toward yourself and remove it from the shelf rails.

   ---

   Caution - Drop hazard. The shelf rails release the weight of the server when it is within 6 inches of being clear of the rack. You must support the weight of the server before it is within 6 inches of being clear of the rack posts.
