Caution

Caution - To avoid serious personal injury and equipment damage, always use all four chassis handles to support the product weight when handling or moving the product.



Caution

Caution - The server weighs about 88 pounds (40 kg) when fully loaded with components. To reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to install the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as described in How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight. This reduces the weight of the server to 35 pounds (16 kg).



Caution

Caution - Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it does not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.


Before installing the server into a rack, gather the tools, equipment, and staff required.
