Before You Begin
Refer to the safety instructions at the front of this document, as well as the safety
instructions provided in your system's System Information document, for additional
information.
CAUTION: When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the
procedures for the current system before attempting to install the next system.
NOTE: If you purchased a Dell rack cabinet along with your system, the slide assemblies may be
preinstalled in the rack.
NOTE: For instructions on installing the system itself, see "Installing a System in the Rack,"
found later in this document.
Important Safety Information
Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in
the rack.
WARNING: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect
yourself as well as others who may be involved. This system is extremely heavy
and bulky (weighing up to 72.6 kilograms [160 pounds]), and proper preparation
and planning are important to prevent injury to yourself and to others. This
becomes increasingly important when systems are installed high up in the rack.
Kit Installation Restrictions
CAUTION: Dell systems are certified as components for use in Dell rack cabinets
using Dell rack kits. The final installation of Dell systems and rack kits in any
other brand of rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is
the customer's responsibility to have the final combination of Dell systems and
rack kits for use in other brands of rack cabinets evaluated for suitability by a
certified safety agency.
This rack kit is intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service technicians. If you
install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of the Dell
rack.
Rack Stabilizer Feet
CAUTION: Installing systems in a Dell rack without the front and side stabilizer
feet installed and anchored to the floor could cause the rack to tip over,
potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain circumstances. Therefore,
always install and anchor the stabilizer feet before installing components in the
rack.
