Before You Begin
You will need a flat-blade and a Phillips screwdriver.
Note: Some of the installation procedures require three people.
Review the safety and handling guidelines specified under
“Safety Information” on page v. These guidelines will help you
work safely while working with your expansion unit and
options.
Review the documentation that comes with your rack enclosure
for safety or cabling considerations. Ensure that your planned
installation is within the rack's guidelines for heat generation,
electrical requirements, air flow, and mechanical loading.
To ensure rack stability, plan the installation of servers and
expansion units in the rack starting from the bottom.
Verify that the rack can meet the operating parameters, as
detailed in Table 1 on page 24.
