Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack
Before you install the chassis, be sure that the rack is fully secured to the data center floor.
You must attach mounting brackets to the chassis before mounting the chassis.
Attaching Center-Mount Brackets to the Chassis
You need to attach a right-angled bracket to each side of the chassis. This bracket centers the chassis and
secures it in place on a two-post rack.

Chassis Warning for Rack-Mounting and Servicing
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to
ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the
unit in the rack.
Warning
Before you begin
• You must separately order the center-mount brackets if you are installing the chassis in a two-post rack.
These brackets do not ship with the chassis unless you specifically order them.
• You must have the following tools and equipment:
• Manual Phillips-head torque screwdriver
• Center-mount bracket kit
Step 1
Align one of the two center-mount brackets on the left or right side of the chassis and be sure that the angled portion is
facing the front of the chassis (see the following figure).
Be sure to align four of the screw holes on the larger side of the bracket with the four screw holes near the center of the
left or right side of the chassis.
