b) Use a tape measure and level to verify that the rails are horizontal and at the same height.

Step 4
Insert the FI into the rack:
The UCS 6454 FI weighs 22 lb (9.97 kg) when fully loaded with components. The Cisco UCS
64108 FI weighs 27.4 pounds (12.4 kg) when fully loaded with components.
Note
a) Supporting both sides of the FI, position the two rear rack-mount guides on the chassis between the two
posts that do not have slider rails attached to them (see the following figure).
b) Align the two rear rack-mount guides on either side of the chassis with the slider rails installed in the rack.
Slide the rack-mount guides onto the slider rails, and then gently slide the chassis all the way into the
rack. If the chassis does not slide easily, try realigning the rack-mount guides on the slider rails.

Step 5
Stabilize the chassis in the rack by attaching the front rack-mount brackets to the front rack posts:
