What to do next
When the bottom-support rails are installed at the lowest possible RU and are level, you are ready to install
the chassis in the rack or cabinet.
Installing a Chassis in a Rack or Cabinet
To move a chassis to a rack, it is necessary to slide the chassis onto a mechanical lift. Use a mechanical lift
to position the chassis in front of its place on the rack. Slide the chassis from the lift to the rack. Then bolt
the chassis to the rack. You can make the chassis easier to move if you remove the power supplies, fan trays,
and fabric modules. Modules are sealed to minimize the chance of damage by electrostatic discharge (ESD).
You can remove modules from the chassis to make the chassis easier to move.
