Oracle^® Exadata Storage Server X6-2 High Capacity Service Manual

Extend the Server to the Maintenance Position

The following components can be serviced with the server in the maintenance position:

• Storage drives

• Fan modules

• Power supplies

• DVD drive

• DDR4 DIMMs

• PCIe cards and cables

• SAS cables

• NVMe cables

• Internal USB drives

• System battery

• Processors

• Disk backplanes

• Front indicator modules

• Motherboard

1. To prevent the rack from tipping forward when the server is extended, extend all rack anti-tilt devices.

   For instructions for stabilizing the rack, refer to Stabilize the Rack for Installation in Oracle Exadata Storage Server X6-2 High Capacity Installation Guide.

2. Verify that no cables will be damaged or will interfere when the server is extended.

   Although the cable management arm (CMA) that is supplied with the server is hinged to accommodate extending the server, you should ensure that all cables and cords are free from obstruction by other devices.

3. From the front of the server, open and hold the left and right release latch covers in the open position.

   When in an open position, the release latch covers engage the slide-rail release latches [1].

   ---

   Caution  -  Deploy any rack anti-tilt mechanism before releasing the slide-rail release latches.

   ---

   
   
4. While the release latch covers are in the open position, slowly pull the server forward until the slide-rails latch into a locked position [2].

   The server is now in the extended maintenance position.
