After you finish

Reassemble the enclosure and program the vital product data (VPD) that is stored on the card. Complete the following steps:

Attention
Three trained technicians are required to complete the enclosure installation/removal task.
  • Two technicians must hold the front and rear handles at both sides of the enclosure.

  • One technician must protect the cables from damage.

  1. Carefully put the enclosure into the rack and slide the enclosure until rear handles are near front rack rails; then, remove rear handles at both sides.
