From the front of the server, stabilize the rack using all anti-tilt mechanisms
provided.
The following steps describe how to stabilize the Sun Rack II 1242 and the Oracle Rack
Cabinet 1242. If you installed a stand-alone server in your own rack, refer to the rack
documentation for instructions on stabilizing the rack.
-
On a Sun Rack II, deploy the anti-tilt legs.
-
Pull the pin to release the anti-tilt leg while pulling the leg from the
bottom (panel 1).
-
Loosen the leveling foot until it makes solid contact with the ground (panel
2).
-
Repeat these steps for the second leg.
Both legs must be deployed.
-
On an Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242, extend the anti-tilt bar.
-
Pull the anti-tilt bar out of the rack to the fully extended position.
-
Rotate the foot of the ant-tilt bar so that it is perpendicular to the
floor.
Adjust the height of the foot so that it rests securely on the floor.
-
Determine your next step:
-
If you have another person to assist you, go to Step 10.
-
If you are alone, go to Step 9.
-
Place a mechanical lift under the chassis, and remove the screws that fasten it to the
rack.
-
Remove the chassis from the rack, and place it on an appropriate surface.
