Remove the power supply module(s) from the back of the chassis.
If applicable, rotate the system feet inward and lay the system on its side on a flat, stable surface.
- NOTE: For systems installed with the wheel assembly, ensure that you lay the system on a sturdy, stable surface with the wheel assembly extending off the edge of the surface.
Open the system.
Disconnect the power cables from the hard-drive backplane and the system board.
Pull the release pin and detach the PIB from the PDB.
