4.1 Power up the Server
Insert the power cord plug, then press the Power Button.
4.2 Power down the Server
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, electric shock, or damage to the
equipment, remove the power cord to remove power from the server. The front panel
Power Button does not completely shut off system power. Portions of the power supply and
some internal circuitry remain active until AC power is removed.
IMPORTANT: If installing a hot-plug device, it is not necessary to power down the server.
1. Back up the server data.
2. Shut down the operating system.
3. Disconnect the power cords.
The system is now without power.
4.3 Extend the Server from the Rack
1. Extend the server from the rack.
2. Rails are divided into two sections to slide out, that is:
1) When 0~55 hard drivesneed maintenance, only pull out the first part of the rails, about
500mm (19.7 inches), and open the front access panel.
2) When the whole machine needsmaintenance, pull out the rails completely, about 930mm
centimeters (36.6 inches), you need to unlock the buckles on both sides of the rails so that
you can extend the chassis from the rack completely (Note: When the chassis should be
extended completely, make sure that the rear cables have all been removed).
3) If it needs to remove the server from the rack, remove all the hard drives in advance.

14
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or equipment damage, be sure that the
rack is adequately stabilized before extending a component from the rack.
3. After performing the installation or maintenance procedure, align the server with the
rails, and slide the server back into the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when sliding the server into the
rack. The sliding rails could pinch your fingers.
4.4 Remove the Access Panel
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the drives and the
internal system components to cool before touching them.
