Installation of the equipment in the cabinet

Install equipment in the cabinet or rack. Always begin component installation at the bottom of the cabinet and work
upward. Install components at the lowest available space for that component type.
Placement of the equipment in the cabinet is dependent on the type of power distribution units installed in the cabinet.
Refer to the equipment stack up guidelines for each type of power distribution.
Install the servers as described in the following sections. Most of the servers will function as VxFlex Ready

the rack or cabinet apply to both types. Once the servers have been installed, refer to the VxFlex Ready Node
Hardware Configuration and Operating System Installation Guide (for your system's operating system), for server
configuration and operating system installation procedures.
