Stabilize the Rack for Installation
Caution - Personal injury or equipment damage. To reduce the risk of personal injury,
stabilize the rack cabinet, and extend all anti-tilt devices before installing the server.
See your rack documentation for detailed instructions for the following steps.
1.
Open and remove the front and rear doors from the rack cabinet.
Note - The front and rear doors need to be removed only if they interfere with the installation.
2.
To prevent the rack cabinet from tipping during the installation, fully extend the
rack cabinet's anti-tilt legs or anti-tilt bar, which are located at the bottom front of
the rack cabinet.
3.
If there are leveling feet beneath the rack cabinet to prevent it from rolling,
extend these leveling feet fully downward to the floor.
