Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Threaded-Hole Rack
You can install the chassis in a 2-post threaded-hole rack by following the tooled procedure in this
section. A flat-head and Philips or hex screwdrivers are necessary. Two people or an equipment lift are
required to lift the chassis.
WARNING: Use an equipment lift or pallet jack when lifting or moving the chassis. Install the
chassis into the rack before inserting the chassis components. Lift the C9010 chassis only from
the bottom. Lifting by the chassis shelves or power supply openings might damage the chassis.
WARNING: To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to
ensure your safety:
•
If your chassis is the only unit in the rack, mount it at the bottom of 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.
1.
Determine the height at which you want to mount the chassis in the equipment rack.
2.
(Optional) If you are using a Dell ReadyRails kit, install the rails as described in
ReadyRails. If you are using a rack mount shelf, refer to
