Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "Safety Instruc-
tions," found earlier in this guide.
NOTICE: This rack kit is intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained
service technicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the
rack meets the specifications of American National Standards Institute
(ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92,
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and Deutsche Indus-
trie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each Dell server,
storage system, or appliance that is installed in a rack.

Recommended Tools and Supplies

You need the following tools and supplies to install the system in a four-post rack
cabinet:
•
A #2 Phillips screwdriver
•
A flat-blade screwdriver
•
Masking tape or a felt-tip pen, for use in marking the mounting holes to be used

Installing the Rack Kit

may be preinstalled in the rack.

Post Rack" found later in this guide.
To install the slide assemblies in the rack, perform the following steps:
1. Remove the rack's front and back doors.
