Chapter 2: System Installation
Warning:
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
When initially installing the server to a rack, test that the rail locking tabs engage to
prevent the server from being overextended. Have a rack lift in place as a precaution
in case the test fails.

Note:
Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
3. Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the system to the rack.
