Installing The Model 5886 Into A Rack - IBM 7014-T00 Manual

Installing the model 5886 into a rack

This procedure can be used to install the system into a rack. In addition to information intended to
promote safety and reliable operation, illustrations of the related hardware components are provided to
show how these components relate to each other.
Installing the system into a rack is a customer task. You can perform this task yourself, or contact a
service provider to perform the task for you. You might be charged a fee by the service provider for this
service.
Important: To complete this procedure, it is suggested that you use two people to attach the rail
assembly to the rack, one in front of the rack and one at the back of the rack.
This procedure assumes that you are installing the system into an existing rack. If the rack is not
installed, go to the instructions for Chapter 2, "Installing the rack," on page 3 and then return to this
procedure for instructions on installing the system unit in a rack.
Note: This procedure applies only to the models that are designed to be mounted in a rack. Do not
attempt to install a stand-alone model in a rack.
