18 Rack Installation Guide
Installing the System in the Rack
CAUTION: If you are installing more than one system, install the first system
in the lowest available position in the rack.
CAUTION: Never pull more than one component out of the rack at a time.
CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install
the system in the rack by yourself.
CAUTION: It is recommended that more than one person assist in lifting
the system.
NOTICE: It is recommended that you use a lift table to aid in installing the system
in the rack, particularly if the rail assemblies are more than waist-high.
NOTICE: When you are lifting and installing your system in the rack, avoid grasping
the LCD module on the front of the system as this part is fragile. See Figure 1-7.
NOTE: If you are transporting a system that is already installed in the rack, ensure
that the two rack stabilizer mounting brackets are in place.
• Locate the lower clinch nut holes on either side of the rack just below
the default position for the strain-relief bar.
• To identify the default position of the strain-relief bar and the attachment points
for the stabilizer mounting brackets, see Figure 1-8.
