Lift and Install the Chassis

Perform the following steps using a mechanical lift, or manually with four people. If you are manually installing the chassis, ensure that you depopulate the chassis first. See Depopulate the Chassis.

Caution - The chassis is heavy. Use a mechanical lift or depopulate the chassis and use four people to lift the chassis.

1. Raise the chassis so that the bottom of the chassis is at the height of the rail shelf.
2. Slide the chassis into the rack until the chassis front mounting flanges contact the rack posts.
   
3. Install eight screws to secure the front of the chassis to the rack.
   
4. Fasten two upper rear brackets to the rack.

   Place the screws in the two outside holes of the bracket, and leave the middle hole empty.

   Note - Permanent installation of these two brackets is required for seismic bracing.
