• Step 1: Installing the Chassis Sections onto the 1U Rackmount
• Step 2: Installing the Stationary Se ction s onto the Equi pment Rack

bolted to the floor per the rack manufacturer’s
recommendations.
After installing components in the equipment rack, do not pull
out more than one compon e nt on its slide rails at a time. If the
equipment rack is not securely bolted to the floor, the weight
of more than one extended component could cause the
equipment rack to become unstable, tip over, and cause
