Removing an expansion enclosure from the rack

Complete this task to physically remove an expansion enclosure from the rack or to relocate one or more enclosures of a storage complex to a different rack.

Restriction: This procedure provides the steps to physically remove an unconfigured expansion enclosure from a rack. Do not remove the expansion enclosure from the storage complex if you have already connected the expansion enclosure to the storage complex and turned it on.
  1. Power down the expansion enclosure.
  2. Remove all cables from the back of the expansion enclosure.
  3. From the back of the rack, remove the M6 screws securing the back of the expansion enclosure to the rear of the rack.
  4. From the front of the rack, remove the operator panel and the right front bezel.
  5. From the front of the rack, remove the M6 screws from the upper mounting holes on both sides of the front of the unit.
  6. Lift the expansion enclosure out of the rack.
    Note: If you remove the hardware resources, you should be able to lift the unit out of the cabinet with the help of one other person. If you do not remove the hardware resources before installation, you should have at least three other people available to help you lift the unit out of the rack.
