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.

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.
