Rack-Mounting the Chassis 71
Rack-Mounting the Chassis
The following section describes the procedure for rack-mounting the chassis.
There are a number of warnings that should be followed to insure safety.
WARNING: To avoid bodily injury when lifting or moving the chassis, follow
these guidelines:
■ A fully-loaded chassis can weigh up to 100 pounds. Don’t attempt to
lift the chassis by yourself. Always use an appropriate number of
personnel to lift and move the chassis.
■ When lifting the chassis, ensure that your footing is solid.
■ Never move suddenly or twist your body when lifting the chassis.
■ If you must bend when lifting the chassis, bend at the knees and not
your waist.
■ Always disconnect all external cables when moving the chassis.
■ Ensure that you have an unobstructed path to the rack.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury and ensure that the system remains
physically stable when mounting or working with the unit, follow these
guidelines:
■ If this unit is the only device in the rack, it should be mounted at the
bottom of the rack.
■ If the rack is partially filled, you should load the rack from the bottom
to the top with the heaviest unit mounted at the bottom of the rack.
■ If stabilizers are provided with the rack, ensure that they are installed
before mounting or working with the rack-mount unit.
The chassis is shipped rack-mount ready with mounting brackets secured to
each side. Use this procedure to rack-mount the chassis:
1. Determine the placement of the chassis in the rack as described in
“System Placement in the Rack” on page 64.
2. Ensure that any system modules that are installed in the unit are firmly
locked in place. All captive screws should also be secured in place.
3. Ensure that you have an unobstructed path to the rack. Also ensure that
the rack is stabilized.
