Removing the system processor assembly

If you haven't already done so, you must remove the system processor assembly before you install the IBM® Power® 750 (8408-E8D) and IBM PowerLinux™ 7R4 (8248-L4T).

1. Prepare to remove the system processor assembly:
   1. Using a slotted screwdriver, loosen both the captive screws (A), if present.
   2. Rotate the handles (B) in the direction that is shown until they stop.
   3. Hold and pull both the handles and begin sliding the system processor assembly out of the enclosure until the slide release buttons on each side of the processor assembly lock into place.

2. Remove the system processor assembly.
   1. Slide the card release tabs (C) toward the rear of the system.
3. With two people, one on each side of the assembly, lift the system processor assembly off of the rails by using both handles on each side. Then move the assembly horizontally away from the rack to clear the rails.

4. Place the system processor assembly on an ESD surface.
5. Push in the system processor assembly rails:
   1. Lift the slide release buttons (one on each side) to unlock the rails (D).
   2. Push both the rails (E) back into the enclosure.
