Appendix F. Securing the Rack
This appendix contains information about installing the rack for the system. This procedure should be
performed if the customer has ordered the appropriate hardware kits to bolt the system to the floor. For
further information, refer to part number 44P2659 and the installation instructions for the frame tie-down
(part number 44P2660).
Additional information about planning the site for installing the system is described in Site and Hardware
Planning Information.
Position the Rack
Note: The customer should unpack the rack and position it in the room. If this has not been done, consult
the customer and the marketing representative as necessary.
To unpack and position the rack, do the following:
1. Remove all packing and tape from the rack.
2. Position the rack according to the customer floor plan.
Note: System configurations weighing more than 1134 kg (2500 lbs) have a weight distribution plate
kit (part number 44P3327) shipped with the system. Refer to the installation instructions
contained in the kit.
For a raised-floor installation only, when it is at its installation location, the stabilizer bar (part number
44P2996) replaces the weight distribution plate (part number 11P3528).
3. Lock each caster wheel.
4. While moving the system rack to its installation location, protect floor panels from damage by covering
the panels with a rigid protective sheet material.
Notes:
a. Ensure that the protective material is placed at the floor panels immediately adjacent to the final
installation location.
b. Ensure that all power is disconnected to the system.
Determine Your Next Step
Use the following to determine your next step:
v If you are installing the ruggedized frame kit, go to "Install the Ruggedized Frame Kit" on page 142.
v If the rack is being attached to a concrete (non-raised) floor, go to "Attach the Rack to a Concrete
(Non-Raised) Floor" on page 144.
v If the rack is being attached to a raised floor, go to "Attach the Rack to a Low-Raised or High-Raised
Floor" on page 146.
v If the rack is not being attached to the floor, go to "Step 6. Position and Level the Rack" on page 11.
