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 to the rails. To avoid personal injury
or damage to the system, you must adequately support the system rack during installation
and removal.
WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, use the handles as shown in the illustration.
CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone
(single) racks or the front stabilizers on racks joined with other racks.
Failure to install stabilizers properly 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 stabilizers 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 documentations.
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.
CAUTION: After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one component
out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one extended
component could cause the rack to tip over and may result in serious injury.
CAUTION: Due to the height and weight of the rack, a minimum of two people should
accomplish this task.
