Figure 2-17. Attaching the server bracket to the server
Loading the Rack Server
Before attaching additional mounting bracket assemblies, follow the steps
below to load and secure the server to the rack with the front bezel
thumbscrews. Ensure that this pair of brackets is perfectly aligned and
installed and that the server fits before you continue.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment, at
least two people are needed to safely unload the rack from the pallet. An empty
42U rack weighs 253 lb (115 kg), is over 7 ft (2.1 m) tall, and may become
unstable when being moved on its casters. Do not stand in front of the rack as it
rolls down the ramp from the pallet, but handle it from the sides.
IMPORTANT:
To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not install hot-plug
drives or redundant hot-plug power supplies into their cages in the server until after you
load the server into the rack.
