About this task
Note: This system requires three people to install the system into the rack.
Procedure
1. Remove the protective plastic film from the top of the system chassis.
2. Move to the front of the rack.
3. Extend each rail until it clicks into the extended position.
4. Using three people, lift the system and align the system chassis rails on each side of the chassis with
the rack slide rails.
5. While one person is supporting the weight of the system, have the second person gently push the
system into the rack, until you hear each slide rail click into place.
6.
Simultaneously depress the slide rail latches on each side of the slide rail and push the system
toward the rear of the rack until the system clicks into place.
7. Secure the system to the rack by screwing a screw through the handles on each side of the front of
the system chassis.
