Installation and Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking A Rack System

WARNING: The weight of your system without the physical disks installed (empty weight) is 19.50 kg (43.0 lb) and
when fully populated with all the physical disks is 105.20 kg (232.0 lb).

WARNING: Your system must be installed by Dell certified service technicians. For safe installation of an empty
system, a minimum of three service technicians are required. To install a fully populated system, a mechanized
lifting tool is required to position the system in a rack.

WARNING: Install the physical disks into the system only after installing the system in the rack. Installing the
system in the rack with the physical disks installed can damage the disks or cause injury.

CAUTION: Before installing your system in the rack, ensure that the weight of the system does not exceed the
rack's weight limit. For more information, see the Rack Installation Instructions that shipped with your system.

NOTE: For weight stability, always load the rack from the bottom up.
