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.
1
Pull the two interior slide assemblies out of the rack until they lock in the 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.
Using a minimum of two persons, each person should place one hand on the front-bottom
of the system and the other hand on the back-bottom of the system.
3
Tilt the front of the system upward while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides of
the system with the back slots on the slide assemblies (see Figure 1-7).
4
Engage the back shoulder screws in the slot just behind the slide-release latch, followed by
the middle and front shoulder screws.
5
Push the system inward on the slide assemblies until the system locking mechanism clicks
into place, locking the slide to the system (see Figure 1-7).
6
Pull up on the slide-release latches and push the system into the rack.
7
Tighten the thumbscrews on the rack front panel.
