Removing storage enclosure orange shipping brackets

Procedure

  1. If there is an orange shipping bracket at the rear of a storage enclosure, remove it.
    1. At the rear of the rack, remove the nylock nut  1  that attaches the orange shipping bracket to the left and right horizontal rails. See Figure 1.
    2. Slide the bracket away from the storage enclosure so the middle support cross pin  2  disengages from the slot. See Figure 1.
    3. If possible, store the brackets and nylock nuts for future use when the rack is shipped back to IBM® or another destination.
