    Caution
    Deploy any rack anti-tilt mechanisms before installing the Pilot into the rack.
    Caution
    The Pilot weighs approximately 18.1 kg (39.9 lb). Two people are required to carry the chassis and install it into the rack.
    Caution
    Do not use the power supply handles to lift the chassis. Using the power supply handles to lift the chassis can damage the power supplies and disrupt electrical power to the Pilot.
  2. Insert the mounting brackets into the slide-rails, then push the Pilot into the rack until the mounting brackets encounter the slide-rail stops at approximately 12 inches (30 cm).
    The Pilot is now in the extended maintenance position.
