Stabilize the Rack

Caution:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the rack cabinet, and extend the anti-tilt bar before you install the server.

Refer to your rack documentation for detailed instructions for the following steps.

  1. Open and remove the front and back doors from the rack cabinet, only if they impinge on the mounting bay.
  2. To prevent the rack cabinet from tipping during the installation, fully extend the rack cabinet anti-tilt bar, which is located at the bottom front of the rack cabinet.
  3. If the rack includes leveling feet beneath the rack cabinet to prevent the rack from rolling, extend these leveling feet fully downward and lock to the floor.

    Caution:

    When moving the rack cabinet to a new location, verify that the leveling feet are up before moving the rack.
