Install the shipping bracket
Before transporting or shipping a rack-installed system, make sure that the shipping bracket is installed in the
rear rack columns. The shipping bracket protects the system from vibration damage that might occur during
the shipment.
Prerequisites
Before you perform this procedure, make sure that you have the following items available:
•
Shipping brackets, screws, and cage nuts
•
T-25 Torx screwdriver
•
Cage nut insertion tool
Procedure
1. If you are installing the system in a square-hole rack, install the cage nuts in the rear rack columns. When
installed, the flanges on the cage nut must face the outside of the rack:
a. Hook the bottom flange of the cage nut in the rack hole.
b. Insert the tip of the insertion tool through the hole and hook the top flange of the cage nut.
c. Use the insertion tool to pull the cage nut through the hole until the top flange snaps into position.
