Removing the DXi6802 

or DXi690x Node from 

the Rack

To remove the DXi6802 or DXi690x Node from the rack:

1

Shut down the DXi6802 or DXi690x system (see 

Shutting Down the System

on page 2).

2

If installed, remove the front bezel from the Node by lifting the latch on the 

left side of the bezel.

3

Remove all power, SAS, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel cables from the rear of 

the Node. Make sure to label the cables so they can be easily identified 

when they are re-connected to the Node after the replacement procedure is 

complete.

4

Press the locking tab on either side of the Node, and slide the Node out 

from the rack until the inner rails lock.

Note:

If necessary, remove the optional screws securing the Node to the 

front of the rack (behind the locking tab).

5

Locate the lock levers on the sides of the inner rails (see 

Figure 3

). Unlock 

each lever by rotating it up to its release position.
