Installation and configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, read and follow the
safety instructions that came with the system.
Installing the tool-less rail solution
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.
To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.
WARNING: To avoid a potential electrical shock hazard, a third wire safety
grounding conductor is necessary for the rack installation. The rack equipment
must provide sufficient airflow to the system to maintain proper cooling.
CAUTION: When installing rails in a square-hole rack it is important to ensure
that the square pegs slide through the square holes.
NOTE: The rails can be used in both square-hole racks (item 1 in the following
figure) and round-hole racks (item 2 in the following figure).
