Sun Microsystems 280R manual How to Install the System Into the Rack, Before You Begin

How to Install the System Into the Rack

This procedure assumes that the slide assembly is already installed in the rack, and that the rack is stabilized and ready for you to insert the system safely. For additional information on installing the slide assemblies and about rack enclosures, see the Sun Fire 280R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide and “About System Rackmounting” on page 21.

Caution –The chassis is heavy. Two persons are required to place the system into the rack slide assembly in the following procedure.

Before You Begin

Complete these tasks:

■Assemble the correct tools for the procedure. See “Tools Required for Setup and Rackmounting” on page 14.

■Extend the cabinet’s anti-tip legs.

Caution –Unless the rack is bolted to the floor, you must extend the cabinet’s anti- tip legs and adjust their stabilizing feet to the floor. Level and secure the cabinet to provide a safe working environment.

■Identify a person to assist you, and a cart to help move the system(s).

■Discuss each task step and verify that your helper can safely lift and carry 34 lb (17 kg), which is approximately half the weight of a fully-equipped system.

■Open and remove the rack enclosure front door.

Caution –When completing a two-person procedure, always communicate your intentions clearly before, during, and after each step to minimize confusion.
