Procedure

  1. There are three positions for the management console ThinkPad laptop.
    • Non-service position. See Figure 1. Go to step 2.
      Note: The management console tray is pushed fully into the rack. Go to step 2.
    • Standard service position. See Figure 2. Go to step 3.
      Note: The management console tray is extended out fully from the front of the rack. Used for all FRUs that do not require the CEC enclosure service access cover to be removed.
    • Alternate service position. See Figure 3. Go to step 4.
      Note: The management console laptop temporarily sits on rails that extend on either side of the upper battery service module (BSM) set enclosure. The alternate service position is needed if the management console being used is above the CEC enclosure. It allows the CEC enclosure service access cover to be removed. The alternate service position can be used for some I/O enclosure repairs.
