Installing the Rack Kit NOTE: For instructions on installing the system itself, see “Installing the System in the Rack” found later in this guide. To install the rack kit in the rack, perform the following steps: 1. Remove the rack’s front and back doors. 2. Install the slide assemblies in the rack. The subsections that follow include instructions for performing these tasks.

If you have a 42-U rack cabinet, perform the following steps (see Figure 1-5): a. One person should grasp the top of the door to stabilize it. The other person should grasp the bottom of the door. b. The person holding the bottom of the door should press the release lever on the bottom hinge and then pull the bottom of the door away from the rack cabinet a few inches. c. The person holding the top of the door should press the release lever on the top hinge and then pull the door away from the rack.
Installing the Slide Assemblies in the Rack NOTE: If the slide assemblies were preinstalled by Dell, you can skip this section. You must allow 2 U (3.5 inches) of vertical space for each system you install in the rack. NOTE: The vertical rails of the rack are marked by small indentations in 1-U increments (see Figure 1-6). 1 U (1.75 inches) Figure 1-6.
2. Mark the rack’s front vertical rails with a felt-tipped marker or place self-adhesive masking tape where the system’s upper and lower edges will be located (see Figure 1-7). 3. Make a mark or place tape on the vertical rails next to the template’s V-shaped notches. 2 U (3.5 inches) between slide assemblies (drawing is not to scale) template Figure 1-7.
