Installation and Configuration
WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety
instructions that came with the system.
Unpacking the System
Unpack your system and identify each item.
Installing the Rails and System in a Rack
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: The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the rails. To avoid
personal injury or damage to the system, you must adequately support the system
rack during installation and removal.
CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers
on stand-alone (single) racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks.
Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could
cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain
circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing
components in the rack.
CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.
You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in
your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service
and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not
covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came
with the product.

4 Getting Started With Your System
1 Secure the rails to the front of the rack using two screws and to the back of
the rack using four screws.
2 Align the keyhole slot on the chassis rails with the corresponding pin
on either side of the system and slide the chassis rails towards the front
of the system until it locks into place. Secure the chassis rails to the
system using screws.

Getting Started With Your System 5
3 Align and insert the ends of the chassis rails into the ends of the rails and
push the system inward until the chassis rails lock into place.
4 Tighten the thumbscrews to secure the ears of system to the rack.

6 Getting Started With Your System
Optional – Connecting the Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor
Connect the keyboard, mouse, and monitor (optional).
The connectors on the back of your system have icons indicating which cable
to plug into each connector. Be sure to tighten the screws (if any) on the
monitor's cable connector.
Connecting the Power Cable(s)

Getting Started With Your System 7
Connect the system’s power cable(s) to the system and, if a monitor is used,
connect the monitor’s power cable to the monitor. Plug the other end of the
power cables into a grounded electrical outlet or a separate power source such
as an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) or a power distribution unit (PDU).
Turning On the System
Press the power button on the system and the monitor. The power indicators
should light.
Complete the Operating System Setup
To install an operating system, see the installation and configuration
documentation for your operating system. Be sure the operating
system is installed before installing hardware or software not purchased
with the system.
