Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack cabinet.

CAUTION:

Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never attempt to remove or install

them by yourself.

CAUTION:

Store the two doors where they will not injure someone if the doors accidently fall over.

Marking the Rack

You must allow 7 U (31.1 cm or 12.25 inches) of vertical space for each system you install
in the rack (see Figure 1-3).

NOTE:

Your rack may already be marked and not require this procedure.

CAUTION:

If you are installing more than one system, install the rail assemblies so that the first system

is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.

1 Place a mark on the rack’s front vertical rails where you want to locate the bottom

of the system you are installing in the rack cabinet.

The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal area between holes
(marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets—see Figure 1-3).

Figure 1-3.
