Installing the system

You might need to install the system into the rack. Use the procedure in this section to perform this task. This section also includes illustrations of the related hardware components and shows how these components relate to each other.

1. If you are installing a 5790 or 7311-D11 expansion unit into the rack, slide the unit in from the back of the shell. If you are installing a 5796 or 7314-G30 expansion unit into the rack, slide the unit in from the front of the shell.
   Important: If installing the 7314-G30 or 5796 first remove the front and back shipping covers. These shipping covers are secured by four thumb screws each. Two screws are located on the top of the cover and two are located on the sides of the cover.
