Note Because the rack-mount brackets support the weight of the entire chassis, be sure to use all screws to fasten the two
rack-mount brackets on the chassis to the rack posts.
Note Make certain that you attach the cable-management bracket to the chassis after you install the chassis in an equipment
rack.
To install the chassis in the four-post rack, complete the following steps:
Step 1 Make sure the rack brakes are locked or the rack is stabilized.
Step 2 On the chassis, ensure that all screw fasteners on the installed components are securely tightened.
Step 3 Make sure that your path to the rack is unobstructed. If the rack is on wheels, ensure that the brakes are engaged or
that the rack is otherwise stabilized.
Step 4 Lift the chassis into position between the rack posts (requires two people).
Step 5 Align the mounting bracket holes with the rack post holes and attach the chassis to the rack. At this point, if there is a
third person, then that person can insert the screws while the other two people hold that chassis in place, unless the
chassis is resting on a shelf).
Step 6 Position the chassis until the rack-mounting ears are flush against the mounting rails on the rack.
Step 7 Insert the bottom screw first and then the second screw at the top of the chassis diagonally from the bottom screw. This
helps secure the chassis in place while you insert the other screws.
