    Set Up the Rack About Component Inspection Each Pillar Axiom 600 system is built to a customer's specifications and shipped in a single shipment. Check the components you received against the packing slip (or bill of lading), which lists everything that was shipped. If any components are missing, call 1-877-4PILLAR (474-5527) and report what was not included in your shipment.
  • Page 27 Axiom 600 system. Additionally, be sure the non-Pillar rack has square mounting holes in the vertical channels. Round mounting holes are not acceptable. Illustrations show a Pillar Axiom 600 42U rack or parts of it. If you have a non- Pillar rack, it should be similar.

    Chapter 2 Set Up the Rack Prepare the Racks To create a bay of Pillar racks, first remove the adjacent (inner) side panels from each rack (see the following figure) and move the racks into position. You will route the cables directly from one rack to the other through the open sides of the racks because the cables are not long enough to route through a raised floor.
