2: Installation Procedures
Installing Your System
Now that you have unloaded the system from the truck and have transported it to its
designated location, you are ready to remove the system from the shipping crate. This
section provides installation instructions for short-rack and tall-rack systems.
Removing a Short Rack from the Shipping Crate
Warning:
Be careful when you unpack and move the short-rack system. Ensure that
the rack remains on a level surface and that the rack weight remains evenly
distributed across the four casters. If you must lift the casters over an obstacle, such as
a door threshold, use proper lifting techniques and employ a minimum of two people.
Caution: Do not subject the rack to any unnecessary shocks or vibration while you
unpack and install the system.
Refer to Figure 2-5 as you follow these steps; the numbered illustrations correspond to
the numbered steps.
1. Ensure that the temperature of the rack is acclimated to the environment in which
you are installing it.
2. Remove the crate cover.
3. Lift the ramp out of the crate and set it aside.
4. Remove the documentation carton, accessories carton, and cardboard packing
material.
5. Lift the sidewalls of the crate up and over the system.
6. Remove the four bolts that secure the rack to the crate. You must reach underneath
the crate and feel for the bolts.
7. Align the holes in the edge of the ramp with the pegs in the base of the crate. Ensure
that the ramp is secure.
8. Remove the gate pins from the left and right ends of the gate. Then remove the gate.
9. Pull the rack down the ramp.
Warning:
The maximum weight of the short rack is 488 lbs (221 kg). Use caution
when you roll the rack down the ramp.
