Follow the unpacking instructions that came with the rack to unpack
the boxes.
Complete a parts inventory before installing the rack:
Locate the kitting report in an accessory box.
Ensure that you received all the parts that you ordered.

Place the rack at the site you identified when you completed your
planning tasks for this order.
Note: The 7014-S25 rack
cannot be stacked, and it is not designed to support equipment
on top of the rack.
Detach the rack keys from the door if they are still present and
place them in a secure location.
Tighten the caster locking screws on each of the two front casters
to prevent the rack cabinet from moving.
Locate and lower the four leveling feet until each pad touches
the floor, using the small end of the wrench included in the hardware kit.
Note: The leveling feet only need to touch the floor so the rack cabinet
does not move. The casters support the weight of the rack cabinet.
Figure 1. Lowering the leveling feet.
Attach the stabilizer bracket by doing the following:
Locate the three screws that came with the stabilizer bracket.
Align the holes on the tip plate with the three holes on the
rack cabinet. Make sure the lip of the stabilizer bracket is facing away from
the rack cabinet.
Figure 2. Installing the stabilizer bracket.
Attach each of the three screws securely.
Note: If
necessary, the rack cabinet may be bolted to the floor through the holes in
the stabilizer bracket.
Note: You must use cage
nuts to install optional devices that do not have threaded holes. Cage nuts
are installed on the inside of the rack mounting flanges with either a cage-nut-insertion
tool or flat-blade screwdriver.
