Installing a Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
Before You Begin
•
Verify that the chassis shipment is complete and undamaged.
•
Verify that a four-post rack or cabinet is installed and secured to the concrete subfloor.
Statement 1048—Rack Stabilization
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
•
Verify that the bottom-support rails have been attached to the lowest possible RU in the rack or cabinet
and there is 13 RU (22.7 in [57.8 cm]) of space above the rails to install the chassis.
