Procedure
Step 1
Place the rack at the location where you plan to install the chassis.
Step 2
(Optional) Secure the rack to the floor.
To bolt the rack to the floor, a floor bolt kit (also called an anchor embedment kit) is required. For information
on bolting the rack to the floor, consult a company that specializes in floor mounting kits (such as Hilti; see
for details). Make sure that floor mounting bolts are accessible, especially if annual retorquing of
bolts is required.
Ensure that the rack in which the chassis is being installed is grounded to earth ground.
Note
Clearance Requirements
To ensure adequate airflow, we recommended that you maintain a minimum clearance distance always, as
mentioned in the following figure.
