To remove a device from a
two-post rack, do the following:
Carefully supporting the
weight of the device, unscrew the mounting brackets from the rack.
Tilt the device so that
the brackets are clear of the rack posts, and carefully lift it out of
the rack.
If the device cannot be tilted (because other equipment is mounted
directly above and below), remove one or two mounting brackets from
the device and then slide the device out.
Results
As a best practice, if you plan to use the device again later, store it with the
mounting brackets attached.
