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.
