Procedure

1. If the node is turned on, turn off the node.
2. Disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet; then, disconnect the other end of the power cord from the back of the power supply.
3. At the front of the rack, press the unlock pin () and close both Eaton ball valves (); then disconnect the hoses.
   CAUTION

   Water is under pressure and may spray when initially opening the ball valve.

4. Place the rack return hose in a bucket, then press the ball valve unlock pin and slowly rotate the valve actuator handle until the valve opens about 1/4 of the way.
   Note

   Do not fully open the rack ball valve or you will reduce your ability to control the flow as you drain the rack.
