Prepare the Rack

Not-racked systems require preparation of the rack prior to component installation and cabling into the rack. Refer to the vendor’s rack documentation for detailed information on unpacking the rack, positioning the rack, and stabilizing the rack.

To create a bay of racks, first remove the adjacent (inner) side panels from each rack and move the racks into position. You must route the cables directly from one rack to the other through the open sides of the racks because the cables are not long enough to route through a raised floor.
