You might need to install an expansion unit into the rack. Use
the procedure in this section to perform this task.
This procedure provides instructions for installing
the model 5790 or 7311-D11 expansion unit into an
existing rack. If the rack is not installed, go to the instructions
for
Installing
the rack, and
then return to this procedure for instructions on installing the system unit
into the rack.
Restriction: This procedure applies
only to the models that are designed to be mounted in a rack. Do not attempt
to install a stand-alone model in a rack.
If you are installing a drawer into an existing shell,
skip to Powering off the system and removing power. To install the drawer in a
new shell, complete the following steps:
Attention: Installing the rails in the rack is a
complex procedure. To install the rails correctly, you must perform each task
in the following order. Failure to do so might cause rail failure and potential
danger to yourself and the system unit.
- Read the Rack Safety Notices.
- Complete a parts inventory.
- Locate the kitting report in an accessory box.
- Ensure that you received all the parts that you ordered. There are two
types of rail kits and templates for this system.
- Two rails with cable-management arms
