Preparing the appliance
Best practices recommend removing the appliance from the rack to access the inside of the chassis. Alternatively you can either pull out the appliance on its rails. Be sure that the appliance and rack are stable.
Turn off the appliance properly and disconnect it from AC power sources. A soft shutdown informs the appliance operating system to stop and close all active processes. After the operating system stops all of the processes, the appliance turns itself off.
Warning:
Never turn off the appliance by using the power button on the control panel. Using the power button to turn off the appliance can cause data loss or corruption.
To perform a soft shutdown of the appliance
- Log on to the NetBackup Appliance Shell Menu.
- Enter Support > Shutdown.
- Verify that the appliance is completely turned off. All LEDs are off. Fans are not running.
- Remove the power cords that connect the appliance to the rack Power Distribution Units (PDUs).
The following procedure explains the process of removing the appliance from the rack.
To remove the appliance from the rack
- Verify that the appliance is off and that the power cords have been disconnected from the power sources.
- Remove the front bezel of the appliance.
- Locate and unscrew the two screws on the edges of the front panel that secure the appliance to the rack.
- Slide the chassis fully forward out of the rack until the rail guides lock.
- With the rails fully extended and locked, locate the blue tabs at the front of the rail assemblies.
- With a person on each side, place a hand underneath the unit.
- Pull the blue tabs back to release the front studs in the chassis rails.
- Lift the front end to release the front studs from the cutouts in the guide rails.
- Place your free hands under the back of the chassis for support.
- Pull the appliance straight out of the rack.
- Lift the appliance and place it on a secure surface.
