Remove a compute tray

The upper and lower compute trays are accessed from the front of the server. Open the release levers to extract the compute tray, pressing the release tabs when it stops to remove the tray fully from the chassis.

CAUTION

The power-control button on the device and the power switch on the power supply do not turn off the electrical current supplied to the device. The device also might have more than one power cord. To remove all electrical current from the device, ensure that all power cords are disconnected from the power source.

CAUTION

Make sure that all server power cords are disconnected from their power sources before performing this procedure.

Before you remove the compute tray, remove the front cover. See Remove the front cover.

Complete the following steps to remove the compute tray:

Figure 1. Compute tray removal to stop position

1. Press the button on each release lever; then, simultaneously rotate the release levers until they are perpendicular to the chassis.
2. Pull compute tray forward evenly until it stops; then, close the release levers.
3. Press the release tabs on either side of the tray; then, slide the tray fully forward evenly and remove it from the chassis.
   Attention

   • Be prepared to support the full weight of the compute tray when you remove it from the chassis.

   • Do not use the release levers as handles to support the compute tray.
