Installing a Chassis
Note
Warning
Warning
Step 1 Make the chassis as light as possible for moving. Remove the following modules and place them where their connectors
will not be damaged:
• Power supplies—For each power supply, press and hold the eject lever, and use the handle on the front of the power
supply to remove the module.
• Fan trays—Unscrew the four captive screws, and use the two handles on the fan tray to remove the module.
• Fabric modules—For each fabric module, press both eject buttons on the front, rotate both levers away from the
front of the module, and use the levers to remove the module.
Step 2 Load the chassis onto a mechanical lift as follows:
a) Position the mechanical lift next to the shipping pallet that holds the chassis.
b) Elevate the lift platform to the level of the bottom of the chassis (or no more than 1/4 inch [0.635 cm] below the
bottom of the chassis).
c) Use at least two people to slide the chassis onto the lift so that the side of the chassis touches or is close to the vertical
rails on the lift. Make sure that the front and rear of the chassis are unobstructed so you can easily push the chassis
into the rack.
Warning Statement 1032 Lifting the Chassis
To prevent personal injury or damage to the chassis, never attempt to lift or tilt the chassis using the handles
on modules (such as power supplies, fans, or cards); these types of handles are not designed to support the
weight of the unit.
Step 3 Use the mechanical lift to move and align the rear of the chassis to the front of the four-post rack or cabinet.
You have at least two people to push the chassis and one person to guide the chassis when you slide it
into the rack.
Statement 1006 Chassis Warning for Rack-Mounting and Servicing
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions
to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:
• This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
• When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
• If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing
the unit in the rack.
Statement 1074 Comply with Local and National Electrical Codes
Installation of the equipment must comply with local and national electrical codes.
