How To Remove and Replace V210/V240 Rack Kit

Solution

*DISPATCH INSTRUCTIONS*

WHAT SKILLS DOES THE ENGINEER NEED:(IS A SITE ENGINEER AVAILABLE?)
Systems rack mounting training or experience

DELIVERY REQUIREMENT:
Schedule for replacement within contractual terms.

Estimate AP Duration = 60 minutes

*FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS*

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Faulty Rail Operation

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

The System should be powered off.

WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Two people are recommended for this procedure. A space to work on the server needed

after removing system from rack.

Disassemble the Slide Rails
1. Unpack the slide rails.

2. Locate the slide rail lock at the front of one of the slide rail assemblies.
3. Squeeze and hold the tabs at the top and bottom of the lock while you pull the
mounting bracket out of the slide rail assembly, until it reaches the stop.
4. Pull the mounting bracket release button toward the front of the mounting
bracket, and simultaneously withdraw the mounting bracket from the slide rail assembly.
5. Repeat for the remaining slide rail assembly.

To Install the Mounting Brackets Onto the Server
1. Position a mounting bracket against the chassis so that the slide rail lock is at the
server front and the three keyed openings on the mounting bracket are aligned
with the three screw holes on the side of the chassis.
2. Attach the slide rail onto the server with the supplied screws.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to install the other slide rail.

To Attach the slide rail Assemblies to the Rack
1. Position a slide rail assembly in your rack so that the brackets at each end of the
slide rail assembly are on the outside of the front and rear rack posts.
2. Attach the slide rail assembly to the rack posts.
The method used to attach the slide rails varies depending on the type of rack:
■ If your rack has threaded mounting holes in the rack posts, determine whether
the threads are metric or standard, then insert the correct mounting screws
through the slide rail brackets and into the threaded holes.
■ If your rack does not have threaded mounting holes, insert the mounting screws
through both the slide rail brackets and rack posts, then secure them with the caged nuts.

3. Repeat for the remaining slide rail assembly.

To Install the Server Into the Slide Rail Assemblies
Caution - This procedure requires a minimum of two people because of the weight
of the server. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment damage or
personal injury.
1. Push the slide rails into the slide rail assemblies as far as possible.
2. Raise the server so that the rear ends of the mounting brackets are aligned with
the slide rail assemblies that are mounted in the equipment rack.
3. Insert the mounting brackets into the slide rails, then push the server into the rack
until the mounting brackets encounter the slide rail stops (approximately 12 in or 30 cm).

4. Simultaneously, pull and hold the slide rail release buttons on each mounting
bracket while you push the server into the rack.
5. Continue pushing until the slide rail locks on the front of the mounting brackets
engage the slide rail assemblies.
Caution - Verify that the server is securely mounted in the rack and that the slide
rails locks are engaged with the mounting brackets before continuing.

Verify proper installation as follows:

Note - Two people are recommended for this procedure: one to move the server in
and out of the rack and one to observe the cables and CMA.
1. Slowly pull the server out of the rack until the slide rails reach their stops.
2. Inspect the attached cables for any binding or kinks.
3. Verify that the CMA extends fully and does not bind in the slide rails.
4. Push the server back into the rack, as described below.
When the server is fully extended, you must release two sets of slide rail stops to
return the server to the rack

a. The first set of stops are levers, located on the inside of each slide rail, just
behind the rear panel of the server. These levers are labeled "PUSH." Push in
both levers simultaneously and slide the server toward the rack.
The server travels approximately 15 inches (38 cm) and stops.
Verify that the cables and the CMA retract without binding before continuing.
b. The second set of stops are the slide rail release buttons, located near the front
of each mounting bracket. Simultaneously push or pull both of
the slide rail release buttons and push the server completely into the rack until
both slide rail locks engage.

OBTAIN CUSTOMER ACCEPTANCE

WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Boot system and ensure that full System functionality is achieved.
