Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the node faceplate to the front of the rack. 2. Extend the node on the rack rails until the node rail-release latches engage. 3. After performing the replacement procedure, slide the node back into the rack: a. Press the node rail-release latches and slide the node fully into the rack. b. Secure the node by tightening the thumbscrews. Removing a VLS Node from the Rack To remove the node from a rack: 1. Power off the node. See Powering Off the System. 2. Disconnect the cabling. 3. Extend the node from the rack. See Extending the Node from the Rack. 4. Remove the node from the rack. For more information, refer to the documentation that ships with the rack mounting option. 5.

Pressing the Power on/Standby button sets the node to the standby position, which removes power from most areas of the node. However, portions of the power supply and some internal circuitry remain active until the AC power cord is removed. WARNING! To reduce the risk of personal injury from hot surfaces, allow the internal system components to cool before touching them. HP StorageWorks 12000 Gateway Virtual Library System User Guide 197
