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.
