After a lot of fiddling we noticed the bar running down the side of
the rack. It didn't move or do much then noticed that it moved down
into the base, then noticed the exteneded feet and after replaing one
of the latched got it open and the top unit out enough to get the
power supply off for testing.

So to get the units out of the rack the legs on the front of the rack
must be fully exteneded!

Also noticed the Power plug for the rack looks like a 30 amp, the
other rack has a 15 amp plug. Has it been modified?
Can the unit run with 15 amp service?
