Rack Installation Guide

Installing the System in the Rack

CAUTION:

If you are installing more than one system, install the first system

in the lowest available position in the rack.

CAUTION:

Never pull more than one component out of the rack at a time.

CAUTION:

Because of the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install

the system in the rack by yourself.

CAUTION:

It is recommended that more than one person assist in lifting

the system.

NOTICE:

It is recommended that you use a lift table to aid in installing the system

in the rack, particularly if the rail assemblies are more than waist-high.

NOTICE:

When you are lifting and installing your system in the rack, avoid grasping

the LCD module on the front of the system as this part is fragile. See Figure 1-7.

NOTE:

If you are transporting a system that is already installed in the rack, ensure

that the two rack stabilizer mounting brackets are in place.

Locate the lower clinch nut holes on either side of the rack just below
the default position for the strain-relief bar.

To identify the default position of the strain-relief bar and the attachment points
for the stabilizer mounting brackets, see Figure 1-8.

1 Remove all blades, rear modules, power supplies, and fans before installing

your system in the rack.

2 Lift the system into position to install it in the rack.

It is recommended that more than one person assist in lifting the system.

3 Guide the system into the rack and lower the system onto the rail

assemblies (see Figure 1-7).

4 Tighten the thumbscrews on the chassis front panel.
5 Reinstall the blades, rear modules, power supplies, and fans.
