Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack
Before you begin
• Verify that the chassis shipment is complete and undamaged.
• Verify that a two-post rack is installed and secured to the subfloor.
•
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack
must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Warning
• If there are other devices in the rack, verify that the devices that are heavier than this chassis are installed
below where you are going to install the chassis and lighter devices are installed above where you are
going to install the chassis.
• Verify that the data center ground is accessible where you are installing the chassis.
Fully loaded, the chassis can weigh up to 81.7 lb (37.05 kg). You can lighten the chassis for easier moving
by removing a power supply. To determine the full weight of the chassis and the appropriate weight rating
for the mechanical lift, see Weights and Quantities for the Chassis, Modules, Fan Trays, and Power Supplies.
