Installation and Configuration

WARNING: Before performing the following procedure, review the safety

instructions that came with the system.

Unpacking the System

Unpack your system and identify each item.

Installing the Rails and System in a Rack

WARNING: Whenever you need to lift the system, get others to assist you.

To avoid injury, do not attempt to lift the system by yourself.

WARNING: The system is not fixed to the rack or mounted on the rails. To avoid

personal injury or damage to the system, you must adequately support the system

rack during installation and removal.

CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers

on stand-alone (single) racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined to other racks.

Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems in a rack could

cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury under certain

circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before installing

components in the rack.

CAUTION: Many repairs may only be done by a certified service technician.

You should only perform troubleshooting and simple repairs as authorized in

your product documentation, or as directed by the online or telephone service

and support team. Damage due to servicing that is not authorized by Dell is not

covered by your warranty. Read and follow the safety instructions that came

with the product.
