Removing the Rack Doors

You must remove the doors from the rack cabinet to provide access to the interior of the rack and to

prevent damage to the doors while removing the system and its rack kit from the rack cabinet.

Removing the Cable-Management Arm

This procedure is performed in two phases. First, remove the cable-management arm on either side

of the cable tray. Next, remove the cable tray from the back of the system chassis.
