CAUTION! To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to equipment, make sure that the rack is ready to receive the ServView before you install it: – The leveling jacks must be extended to the floor. – The full weight of the rack must rest on the leveling jacks. - Page 15 SERVSWITCH™ SERVVIEW 3. Attach one end of the cable-carrier arm to the back of the ServView with the included 8-32 x ⁄ " screws, as shown in Figure 4-2. Be careful not to attach this upside down: Make sure that the small “tab” section with the screwholes is oriented toward the inside of the rack, not toward the outside.
