Observing Safety Guidelines and Cautions

7. For additional safety guidelines and warnings, refer to the online documentation.

Unpack the Rack

1. Remove the rack from its packaging container, and remove the ramps and rear wood strip from the shipping pallet [1-3].

   For more information, refer to the unpacking procedures in the Oracle Rack Cabinet 1242 User's Guide.

   
   
2. Unload the rack from the shipping pallet by attaching the ramps [4], removing the L-brackets [5], and carefully rolling the rack down the ramps [6].

   Caution  -  Follow all unloading instructions carefully and never stand in the path of the rack, especially when rolling the rack down the ramps. Otherwise, serious personal injury or death might occur.

   Caution  -  When unpacking the rack at the installation site, or when repackaging the rack to move the rack to a new location, verify that the leveling feet are up before moving the rack, and that the doors, if present, are closed and locked.

Move the Rack

• Push the rack from behind and use the back casters to steer the rack.

  Caution  -  If you installed equipment into the rack before moving it, avoid tipping or rocking the rack as it can fall over and cause serious injury and equipment damage.

Lower the Leveling Feet

1. Stabilize the rack by lowering the four leveling feet to the floor, using a 6-mm Allen L-key wrench or your fingers.
   
2. Lock the leveling feet, using an 18-mm open wrench.
   

Extend the Anti-tilt Bar

1. Unscrew the knob counter-clockwise at the end of the anti-tilt bar.
2. Pull the anti-tilt bar to the fully extended position.

   The green release tab on top of the anti-tilt bar automatically locks the bar in place when fully extended.

   
   
3. Rotate the end of the foot 90 degrees so that it is perpendicular to the floor [1], and adjust the height of the foot so that it rests on the floor [2].
