Accessing a Rack-Mounted Server
The HP Integrity cx2620 server is designed to be rack-mounted. The following procedure explains
how to gain access to a server that is mounted in an approved rack.
WARNING! Ensure that all anti-tip features (front and rear anti-tip feet installed; adequate
ballast properly placed, and so on) are employed prior to extending the server.
Installing Components When the Server Is in a Rack
WARNING! Ensure that the system is powered off and all power sources are disconnected
from the server prior to removing or installing server hardware unless you are removing or
installing a hot-swappable or hot-pluggable component.
Voltages are present at various locations within the server whenever a dc power source is
connected. This voltage is present even when the main power switch is turned off.
Failure to observe this warning can result in personal injury or damage to equipment.
NOTE: Ensure that there is enough area (approximately 1.5 meters [5 ft.]) to fully extend the
server out the front of the rack to work on it.
You can install power supplies, disks, and fans when the server is fully inserted into a rack. Only
front and rear access is required.
Internal components are accessed by removing the top cover. Proceed as follows.
1. Turn off and disconnect system power. Disconnect power at the dc source end of the power
cables, using the disconnect device that is part of the rack or facility power system.
2. Remove or loosen (as appropriate) the screws that fasten the server to the rack.
3. If the server is slide-mounted, slowly pull the chassis forward (or push from the rear) to
extend the chassis from the rack. The server is fully extended when the rail clips are locked
in place. If the server is tray-mounted, it is not held in the rack and can fall from its mounting.
Do not extend the server from the rack, remove it from the rack for internal access.
4. Remove the top cover. See “Removing the Top Cover” (page 26).
