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.
