Transfer the director to the lift device

Use these steps to position the director next to the rack.

WARNING! The director weighs approximately 115 pounds. Use proper handling and lifting

equipment to reduce the possibility of injury or product damage. Two people will need to work

together to transfer the director to the lift. Make sure the wheels of the lift cannot roll as you transfer

the director to the lift. Move the director slowly and carefully onto the lift to prevent back and hand

injury. Dropping the director could injure personnel or damage the equipment.

1. Position the lift device next to the director.

2. Using a pallet jack, raise the pallet on which the director is mounted to the same height as the

top surface of the lift device.

3. Slide the director across from the pallet to the lift device.

4. Determine the appropriate rack-mount position. Remember that the director is 9U (15.75 inches)

high.

Install the shelf brackets in a HP 9000, HP 10000, and HP 11000 Series rack

NOTE: Consider leaving the bottom and top U positions open to permit easy accessibility to the

cables entering and exiting the rack.

1. Determine the appropriate placement for the switch inside the rack. It is important to consider

the number of switches you intend to install.

2. Locate the small, round marker hole on the rails that coincides with the location selected in

(Figure 11).

4. Position the higher, shelf bracket threaded hole in this square opening (Figure 11).

5. Orient the shelf bracket in the rails.

6. Place the square washer provided on the front of the rail so that the two bumps on the washer sit

in opposite corners in the rail’s square hole.

7. Insert the panhead Phillips screw, and partially tighten to temporarily stabilize the bracket.
