Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.
Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution
WARNING:
Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you. To
avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING:
The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the rails. To avoid
personal injury or damage to the system, you must adequately support the system
during installation and removal.
WARNING:
To avoid a potential electrical shock hazard, a third wire safety
grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation. The rack equipment
must provide sufficient airflow to the system to maintain proper cooling.
CAUTION:
When installing rails in a square-hole rack it is important to ensure
that the square peg slides through the square holes.
CAUTION:
Square studs must be flush with the rack posts to install properly.
