Installation And Configuration
CAUTION: 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.

causing the damage and/or failures. Remediation of environmental conditions will be the
responsibility of the customer.
Air Filtration
NOTE: Applies to data center
environments only. Air filtration
