Procedure
A fully populated chassis weighs approximately 145.83 kg (321.5 lbs) and

them correctly. Remove the power supplies, fan modules, all of the blades,
the cable management comb, and the chassis door (if equipped). Install the
empty chassis into the rack following the chassis installation instructions.
The weight of the empty chassis is 78.5 lb (35.6 kg) and must be lifted by
minimum 3 people. After securing the chassis to the rack, reinstall the power
supplies, fan modules, the blades and any possible interconnecting cables
and proceed with the installation.
