Caution If you are using a two-post rack secure the rack to the floor surface to prevent tipping and avoid bodily injury and component damage.

Step 1 Position the chassis so the front is closest to you and lift it carefully into the rack. To prevent injury, avoid any sudden twists or moves.

Step 2 With at least two people, slide the chassis into the rack, pushing it back until the brackets meet the mounting strips or posts on both sides of the rack.

Step 3 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting flanges are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.

Note To allow space to attach the cable management brackets to the chassis in the rack easily, make certain that you use the rack-mount bracket ear holes specified in the next steps.
