Cisco UCS X9508 - Inserting the Chassis into a Round-Hole Rack

Inserting the Chassis into a Round-Hole Rack
Before you begin
If you have not already verified that the rails are installed as indicated in the front and rear layouts, do so now.
See Rail Installation Layout, Round-Hole Rack, on page 28.
Also, make sure to review Installation Notes and Warnings for the Cisco UCS X9508 Server Chassis, on page
1.
The chassis must be grounded by a ground lug that Cisco provides, or an equivalent. See "Ground Lug" in
Earth Ground Considerations, on page 3.
Before beginning this procedure, make sure that the rails are correctly installed, and all the rail kits' mounting
screws are installed and tightened.
Caution
Watch your hands and fingers whenever you handle the chassis, modules, compute nodes, and components!
Narrow vertical or horizontal spaces in situations including, but not limited to, moving the chassis into or out
of the shipping container or equipment rack can cause pinch hazards for your hands and fingers.
Although they do not eliminate the possibility of pinching, the chassis has defined grasp points to facilitate
handling and moving it. For information about chassis grasp points, see Handling the Chassis, on page 4.
Important
You will find it easier to move the chassis if you have additional people to help you.
Tip
Step 1 Using a scissor jack, chassis lift, or other mechanical device, lift the chassis and position it so that you can slide it into
the rack.
Step 2 Slide the chassis into the rack until the front flange is flat against the cage nuts (spring nuts).
