Mounting the device in a rack
WARNING!
To avoid device damage or bodily injury, follow these guidelines to lift and move the device:
•
The device is heavy. As a best practice, use a forklift to lift and move the device.
•
To move the device manually, use a minimum of four people. Remove fan trays, power
modules, and filler panels from the device before moving it. Reinstall these components after
installing the device in the rack.
•
Use the chassis handles, rather than the handles of the components (fan trays, power modules,
and modules) as well as the chassis air vents, to move the chassis.
WARNING!
After you place the device on the slide rails installed on the rack, do not leave go of your hands
immediately because this might tip the device, damaging the device or even causing bodily injury.
To mount the device in the rack:
1.
Face the rear of the chassis towards the front of the rack.
2.
Place the device on the slide rails from the front of the rack and slide the device along the
guide rails until the mounting brackets on the device touch the front rack posts tightly, as
shown by callout 2 in
.
3.
Use screws provided with the device to attach the mounting brackets to the rack posts.
For the S12516R and S12508R, the name plate on the upper right corner of the front panel
covers two mounting screw holes on the mounting brackets. Screws are not needed for these
two mounting holes.
If the mounting holes in the mounting brackets cannot align with the cage nuts on the rack,
verify the following items:
{
The bottom edge of the slide rail aligns with the middle of the narrower metal area between
holes.
{
The cage nuts are installed in the correct holes.
