Remove a DC Adapter Tray

You can remove a DC adapter tray without removing the DC input unit. However, removing the DC input tray as part of this process will help prevent damage to the LED signal cable and the ribbon signal cable.

1. Prepare the chassis for service.

   See:

   • Power Off the Server Modules and Storage Modules

   • Power Off Components in the Chassis

   • Remove Power From the DC Chassis

   • Removing the Chassis From the Rack

2. Lift up the DC input unit and place it on top the chassis so that you can reach through the access hole and disconnect the LED signal cable.

   See Remove the DC Input Unit.

3. Disconnect the signal cables by reaching through the access hole in the top of the chassis.
   1. (Left DC adapter tray only) Press the release tab on the LED signal cable and gently pull the cable from the connector.
   2. Press the ejector levers down to release the ribbon signal cable.
   
   
4. Remove the two Torx screws at the front of the DC adapter tray.

   Tip - A long-stem Torx driver can access these screws at a better angle.

5. Pull the DC adapter tray from the front of the chassis.

   The adapter tray is securely connected and might require a strong pull to release.

6. (If necessary) Install a new DC adapter tray.
