Installing the 7014-T00, 7014-T42, 0551, or 0553 racks
This section describes all the tasks required to install racks. The full spectrum of related tasks are
described, from doing a parts inventory to finally connecting to a dc power source.
If you are installing a rack security kit in this rack, see Chapter 6, “Installing the rack security kit,” on
page 109 after you have installed the rack.
Before installing a rack, read the “Rack safety notices” on page 106.
Completing a parts inventory
Before beginning the rack installation it is a good idea to do a parts inventory. This section guides you in
performing this task.
If you have not done so, complete a parts inventory before installing the unit in the rack:
1. Locate the kitting report in an accessory box.
2. Ensure that you received all of the features that you ordered and all of the parts on the kitting report.
If there are incorrect, missing, or damaged parts, contact:
vYour IBM reseller
vIBM support (see Directory of worldwide contacts Web site at http://www.ibm.com/planetwide
for contact information for your country)
vIBM Rochester Manufacturing Automated Information Line at 1–800–300–8751 (United States only)
Positioning the rack
Proper rack positioning is needed to comply with safety and regulatory requirements. Use the procedure
in this section to perform this task.
After the rack has been placed into its location on the floor, lock each caster by tightening the locking
screw. See the following illustration for the locking screw location. Remove all of the tape and packing
materials from the rack.

1Caster
2Locking screw
Use the following to determine the next step:
vIf the rack is being bolted to a concrete floor, go to “Attaching the rack to a concrete floor” on page 6.
vIf the rack is being bolted to a concrete floor beneath a raised floor, go to “Attaching the rack to the
concrete floor beneath a raised floor” on page 11.
vIf the rack is not being attached to the floor, go to “Leveling the rack.”
Leveling the rack
If you need to level the rack, use the procedure described in this section.
To level the rack, complete the following steps:
1. Loosen the jam nut on each leveling foot.
2. Rotate each leveling foot downward until it contacts the surface on which the rack is placed.
3. Adjust the leveling feet downward as needed until the rack is level. When the rack is level, tighten
the jam nuts against the base.

Attaching the stabilizer brackets
You might need to attach the stabilizer brackets to the rack. This section helps you determine whether
stabilizer brackets are necessary and describes how to attach them if needed.
If the front or back ac electrical outlets are going to be installed in the rack, you cannot attach the
stabilizer brackets. The rack must be bolted to the floor. Stabilizer brackets are used only if you will not
be bolting the rack to the floor. If you are going to bolt the rack to the floor, go to “Attaching the rack to
a concrete floor” on page 6.
To attach the stabilizer brackets to the bottom of the rack, do the following:
Note: Before installing the stabilizer brackets, see “Attaching the front or back ac electrical outlet” on
page 16 for instruction on installing the ac outlet-mounting plates.
1. Align the slots of one of the stabilizer brackets with the mounting holes at the bottom front of the
rack.
2. Install the two mounting screws.
3. Ensure that the base of the stabilizer bracket rests firmly on the floor. Use the Allen wrench that was
supplied with the rack to tighten the mounting screws alternately until they are tight.

4. To install the second stabilizer bracket on the back of the rack, repeat steps 1 through 3.
Attaching the rack to a concrete floor
If you plan to install the front or back ac electrical outlets in the rack, the rack must be bolted to the floor.
This section describes how to perform this task for a concrete floor.
Obtain the services of a mechanical contractor to attach the rack-mounting plates to the concrete floor.
The mechanical contractor must determine that the hardware being used to secure the rack-mounting
plates to the concrete floor is sufficient to meet the requirements for the installation.
To attach the rack to a concrete floor, do the following:
1. Put the rack in its predetermined location, and tighten the locking screws on the casters.
2. If they are installed, remove the top, left, and right trim panels. The trim panels are held in place
with spring clips. See the following illustration.
Figure 3. Attaching the stabilizer brackets

2Top trim panel 5Spring clip
3Left-side trim panel
3. If they are installed, remove the front and back doors. After the rack doors have been removed, go to
the next substep. To remove a rack door:
a. Unlock and open the door.
b. Grasp the door firmly with both hands and pull it away from the hinges.
4. Locate the hardware mounting kit and the two mounting plates. Refer to the following illustration
when reviewing the contents of the hardware mounting kit. The hardware mounting kit contains the
following:
v4 Rack-mounting bolts
v4 Thin washers
v8 Plastic isolator bushings
v4 Thick washers
v4 Spacers
5. If you are installing an ac-powered rack, temporarily install the lower plastic isolator bushings to
help you locate the mounting locations for the stabilizer bracket. After the stabilizer bracket has been

7. Create a rack-mounting bolt assembly by adding the following items, in the order listed, to each
rack-mounting bolt.
a. Thin washer
b. Top plastic isolator bushing
c. Thick flat washer
d. Spacer
8. Insert a rack-mounting bolt assembly through each of the leveling feet.
9. Reposition the rack-mounting plates under the four rack-mounting bolts so that the mounting bolts
are centered directly over the threaded bolt holes.
10. Turn the rack-mounting bolts four complete turns into the mounting plate's threaded bolt holes.

11. Mark the floor around the edges of both stabilizer brackets.
12. Mark the plate bolt-down holes that are accessible through the opening in the rear of the rack.
13. Remove the rack-mounting bolt assemblies.
14. If you are installing an ac-powered rack, remove the bottom isolator bushing from each of the
leveling feet.
15. Remove the stabilizer brackets from the marked locations.
16. Loosen each of the locking screws on the casters.
17. Move the rack so that it is clear of both areas that were marked on the floor for the stabilizer bracket
locations.
18. Reposition the stabilizer brackets within the marked areas.
19. Mark the floor at the center of all holes in both stabilizer brackets.
20. Remove the two rack-mounting plates from the marked areas.
21. At the marked location of the threaded rack-mounting bolt holes, drill four clearance holes into the
concrete floor. Each clearance hole should be approximately 1-inch deep. This depth allows the
rack-mounting bolts enough room to protrude past the thickness of the stabilizer brackets.
Figure 6. Securing the rack to the floor
Chapter 2. Installing the rack 9

Note: You must use a minimum of two anchor bolts for each rack-mounting plate to securely attach
the plate to the concrete floor. Because some of the holes in each rack-mounting plate might align
with concrete reinforcement rods embedded in the concrete, some of the rack-mounting plate holes
might not be usable.
22. Select at least two suitable hole locations for each stabilizer bracket bolt. The selected locations
should be as close to the threaded bolt holes as possible. Be sure that the holes selected at the back
of the rack are accessible. Drill holes at the selected locations into the concrete floor.
23. Position the stabilizer brackets over the concrete anchors.
24. Securely bolt the front stabilizer bracket to the concrete floor.
25. Position the stabilizer bracket over the concrete anchors.
26. Securely bolt the back stabilizer bracket to the concrete floor.
Note: The size of the anchor bolts and concrete anchors must be determined by the mechanical
contractor who will be installing the rack-mounting plate.
27. Position the rack over the stabilizer bracket.
28. Insert each of the stabilizer bracket bolts through a flat washer, a plastic isolator bushing and a thick
washer, and through a leveling foot.
29. Align the four stabilizer brackets bolts with the four tapped holes in the two mounting plates and
turn three to four rotations.
30. Tighten the locking screw on each caster.
31. Adjust the leveling feet downward as needed until the rack is level. When the rack is level, tighten
the jam nuts against the base of the rack.
