Installing the C8000 chassis

Follow the steps below to install the C8000 chassis. Note: For best
weight distribution, place the storage sleds toward the bottom of the
server rack whenever possible, as they tend to weigh more than the
compute sleds.
1. Remove power sleds, compute sleds, and storage sleds from the
chassis prior to rack installation to lighten the load.
2. Use at least two people to slide the C8000 chassis onto the rails
until the front ears touch the cage nuts.
3. Screw the front ears into the cage nuts to secure the chassis in
place.
4. Re-insert the compute, storage, and power sleds.
5. We recommend installing all chassis and sleds before beginning
cable installation.
