Complete the removal of the first system from the rack before starting the second. Never extend more than one system from the rack at a time. CAUTION: Removing a system from a position high up in the rack cabinet will require up to four people and may require a sturdy, elevated platform to stand on. A mechanical lifting platform or similar equipment of the proper capacity may also be useful. If you attempt to remove and lower the system without enough people to safely perform the task, you risk personal injury to yourself and to others and damage to the system. 1 Loosen the thumbscrews that secure the front panel to the front vertical rails (at the front of the rack cabinet). 2 Pull the system out of the rack on its slide assemblies until the slide assembly lock snaps into place at the fully extended position. 3 While pressing the system locking mechanism release button, pull the system forward to release the system from the rack rails. See Figure 1-12. 4 Using two to four people, grasp the system at each corner and lift the system up and out of the slide assemblies. See Figure 1-12. 5 The shoulder screws should lift out of the outermost slide section. If you have difficulty, make certain that the shoulder screws in the slide assembly are aligned with their opening on the top of the slide. 6 Place the system on a smooth work surface. 22 Tower-to-Rack and Rack-to-Tower Conversion Guide
