3.8.1 Removing an HP ProLiant DL585 G2 from the Rack
To access internal components in the HP ProLiant DL585 G2 server, you must first shut down
power to the server and remove it from the rack. All of the servers in the cluster are secured to
the rack on a sliding rail. This section describes how you shut down power, remove the server
from the rack, and access internal components.
When performing these tasks, heed the warnings and cautions listed in “Important Safety
Information” (page 23).
The front panel power button on the HP ProLiant DL585 G2, as shown in Figure 3-53, toggles
between On and Standby. If you press the Power button on an HP ProLiant DL585 G2 to power
down the server, the LED changes from green to amber, indicating Standby mode. In Standby
mode, the server removes power from most electronics and drives. Portions of the power supply
and some internal circuitry remain active. To completely remove all power from either server,
disconnect the power cord first from the AC outlet and then from the server.
To remove the ProLiant DL585 G2 from the rack, follow these steps:
1. Power down the server.
2. Disconnect all remaining cables on the server rear panel, including cables extending from
external connectors on expansion boards. Make note of which Ethernet and interconnect
cables are connected to which ports.
3. Pull down the quick-release levers on each side of the server to release the server from the
rack, as shown by callout 1 in Figure 3-55, and callout 3 in Figure 3-56.
