Installing the Appliance in the Rack
If you are installing more than one appliance, install the first appliance in the lowest available position
in the rack.
Caution
Never pull more than one component out of the rack at a time.
To install the appliance in the rack, follow these steps:
Step 1
Pull the two slide assemblies out of the rack until they lock in the fully extended position.
Caution
Because of the size and weight of the appliance, never attempt to install the appliance in the slide
assemblies by yourself.
Step 2
Remove the appliance front bezel by pressing the left side tab and pulling.
Step 3
Lift the appliance into position in front of the extended slides.
Step 4
Place one hand on the front-bottom of the appliance and the other hand on the back-bottom of the
appliance.
Step 5
Tilt the back of the appliance down while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides of the appliance
with the back slots on the slide assemblies.
Step 6
Engage the back shoulder screws into their slots.
Step 7
Lower the front of the appliance and engage the front shoulder screws in the front slot behind the
appliance release latch (see
Figure 4-7 on page 4-21
).
The appliance release latch moves forward and then snaps back as the shoulder screw passes into the
front slot.
Note
Use the appliance release latch when you want to remove the appliance from the slide
assemblies.
