Stabilize the Rack

Caution:

To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the rack cabinet, and extend the anti-tilt bar before you install the server.

Refer to your rack documentation for detailed instructions for the following steps.

  1. Open the front and rear doors from the rack cabinet. Remove the doors only if they interfere with access to the equipment.
  2. To prevent the rack cabinet from tipping during the installation, fully extend the rack cabinet's anti-tilt legs or anti-tilt bar, which are located at the bottom front of the rack cabinet.

    Caution:

    To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the rack cabinet, and extend all anti-tilt devices before installing the server.

  3. If the rack includes leveling feet beneath the rack cabinet to ensure that the rack stands upright on an uneven floor, extend these leveling feet fully downward to the floor.

    Caution:

    When moving the rack cabinet to a new location, verify that the leveling feet are up before moving the rack.
