WARNING:
If the rack is empty at the time of installation, do NOT install the DXi6700
chassis too high in the rack. The weight of the chassis may cause the rack
to become “top heavy” and unstable if installed in the top of an empty
rack.
To mark the rack, perform the following step:
1
Place a mark (or tape) on the rack's front vertical rails where you want to locate the
bottom of the system you are installing in the rack. The bottom of each 1-U space is
at the middle of the narrowest metal area between holes (marked with a horizontal
line on some rack cabinets.
