Loading the Rack Server

Load and secure the server to the rack with the face plate thumbscrews before
continuing to attach any more mounting bracket assemblies. Ensure that this
pair of brackets is perfectly aligned and installed and that the server fits before
you continue.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, a minimum of two people MUST lift the server
into the rack. The server weighs 50 pounds (22.6 kilograms). If
the unit is to be loaded above chest level, a third person must
assist in aligning the rails while the other two support the unit.

IMPORTANT: To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not
install drives in the server until after you load the server into the rack. You
may also temporarily remove power supplies and reinstall them after you
have mounted the server in the rack.
