If it was that easy, I wouldn't be bothering the list. No, these are the
ones:

The front is straightforward. Unfortunately the mechanism at the back
needs to be loosened first, and is completely obscured by the side
pillars of the rack, so I have to work by touch. The video above is no
help whatsoever. You can see it a little better in these photographs:

There is a hidden spring lever that a) retracts the centre, slender pin
and b) releases a lock that allows the lower blue pin to be pushed back.
But the top pin remains stubbornly in place. ISTR this is a red herring
and the whole bracket is supposed to push back as a unit - there are two
sliding joints (like on a door chain) where it is attached to the main
rail - but can I find what's locking it in place?
The really annoying thing is I told this guy it would take me half an
hour to re-rack and reconfigure his server, and that was on Tuesday.
