Installing The System In The Rack; Removing The System From The Rack - Dell PowerEdge 1950 Installation Manual

Installing the System in the Rack

CAUTION:
If you are installing more than one system, install the first system in the lowest available position
in the rack.
1 Place one hand on the front-bottom of the system and the other hand on the back-bottom of the
system.
2 Lift the system into position so that the side rails at the back of the system are aligned with the
mounting rails in the rack.
CAUTION:
Because of the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install the system in the mounting rails
by yourself.
3 Push the system into the mounting rails until the system stops.
4 Push in and turn the thumbscrews on each side of the front chassis panel to secure the system to the
rack.

1 Turn off the system and attached peripherals, and disconnect the system from the electrical outlet.
2 Loosen the thumbscrews on each side of the front chassis panel that secures the system to the rack.
3 Disconnect all cables from the system.
4 Pull the system out of the rack until it stops because of the release latches.
