Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read “Safety Instruc-
tions,” found earlier in this guide.
NOTICE: This rack kit is intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained

trie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each Dell server,
storage system, or appliance that is installed in a rack.

You need the following tools and supplies to install the system in a four-post rack
cabinet:
•
A #2 Phillips screwdriver
•
A flat-blade screwdriver
•
Masking tape or a felt-tip pen, for use in marking the mounting holes to be used
