Rack Installation Guide
Installing the System in the Rack
CAUTION:
Due to the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install the system by yourself.
NOTE:
The procedure for installing a system into a rack is identical for flush-mount and center-mount
slide assemblies.
1 Pull the slides out to their fully extended position.
CAUTION:
Because of the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install the system in the slide
assemblies by yourself.
2 Lift the system into position (see Figure 1-18).
3 Place one hand on the front-bottom of the system and the other hand on the back-bottom
of the system.
4 Tilt the back of the system down while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides of
the system with the back slots on the slide assemblies.
5 Engage the back shoulder screws into their slots.
6 Lower the front of the system, and engage the front and middle shoulder screws in their slots.
The middle slot is just behind the system release latch (see Figure 1-18).
When all shoulder screws are properly seated, the system locking mechanism at the front
of each slide assembly clicks and locks the system into the slide assembly.
7 Press up on the slide release latch at the side of each slide to slide the system completely
into the rack (see Figure 1-18).
8 Push in and turn the captive thumbscrews on each side of the front chassis panel to secure
the system to the rack.
NOTE:
To remove the system from the slide assemblies, press down on the thumbpads of the system
locking mechanism, and then pull the system forward.
