Remove an Oracle Server X6-2M

1. If the node is configured as an ASR asset, deactivate it.

   See Deactivate an ASR Asset.

2. Follow the safety precautions provided in the “Preparing for Service” topic at:

   http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E62159_01/html/E62171/z4000019165586.html#scrolltoc

3. Prepare an antistatic surface on a workbench where you will place the node.
4. Arrange for an assistant to help you remove and carry the node to a workbench.

   ---

   Caution  -  You must completely remove the node. The modular system rails do not support partial removal and service. Partially removing a node and letting it hang in the rails can damage the rails and possibly the node.

   ---

5. Take the node offline.

   See Power Down an Oracle Server X6-2M.

6. When the green OK LED is blinking slowly, begin the removal process:
   1. Loosen the two thumbscrews on the node's front rails.

      ---

      Caution  -  Be careful to avoid pinching your fingers with the D-shaped metal handles in the next step.

      ---

   2. Using the D-shaped metal handles, pull the node straight toward you about three inches to disconnect the backplane connectors.
   3. Using two persons, pull it out of the rack with each person holding one side.

      ---

      Caution  -  Ensure that both persons support the front and rear of the node from underneath to prevent damage to it.

      ---

      
      
   4. Place the node on a workbench that has an antistatic surface large enough for the entire node.
   5. Perform the service.
7. When the service is completed, install the node as described in Install an Oracle Server X6-2M.
