Installing the System in the Rack
CAUTION: Due to the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install the
system by yourself.
NOTE: The procedure for installing a system into a rack is identical for flush-mount
and center-mount slide assemblies.
1
Pull the slides out to their fully extended position.
CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install
the system in the slide assemblies by yourself.
2
Lift the system into position (see Figure 1-6).
3 Place one hand on the front-bottom of the system and the other hand on the back-
bottom of the system.
4 Tilt the back of the system down while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides
of the system with the back slots on the slide assemblies.
5 Engage the back shoulder screws into their slots.
6 Lower the front of the system, and engage the front and middle shoulder screws in
their slots (the middle slot is behind the yellow system release latch) (see Figure 1-6).
When all shoulder screws are properly seated, the yellow latch on each slide assembly
clicks and locks the system into the slide assembly.
7 Press up on the green slide release latch at the side of each slide to slide the system
completely into the rack (see Figure 1-6).
8 Push in and turn the captive thumbscrews on each side of the front chassis panel to
secure the system to the rack.
NOTE: Use the yellow system release latch whenever you wish to remove the system
from the slide assemblies.
Installing the Cable-Management Arm
NOTICE: The cable-management arm can only be installed on the right side of the
rack cabinet (as viewed from the back).
To install the cable-management arm on the system, perform the following steps:
1 Facing the back of the rack cabinet, locate the latch on the end of the slide assembly.
2 Push the tab on the back end of the cable-management arm into the latch on the end
of the slide assembly (see Figure 1-7).
The latch clicks when locked.
