Performing tasks associated with the 9363-RC4 rack

You must remove the 9363-RC4 rack outriggers, position the rack, install the system covers, and install the rack stabilizer bracket before you install the system.

  1. Remove both outriggers (also known as rack side stabilizing brackets) from the sides of the rack by removing the four bolts on each side with the 6 mm hex wrench that is provided. If you plan to move the rack cabinet to another location, save the outriggers for use in the future.

  2. Position the rack where you want it to be installed.
  3. Use the open-end wrench that comes with the hardware kit to lower each of the four leveling pads just enough so that they touch the floor. The rack casters support the weight of the rack cabinet. The pads prevent the rack from rolling.
  4. Ensure that the power cords are securely attached to each power distribution unit (PDU).
  5. Install the front, back, and side covers onto the system.
  6. Install the recirculation prevention plate and the front stabilizer bracket on the front of the rack cabinet. The recirculation prevention plate uses the same four screws and holes in the rack as the front stabilizer bracket.
    1. Align the four holes in the recirculation prevention plate with the four holes in the rack cabinet.
    2. Position the front stabilizer bracket in front of the recirculation prevention plate and align the screw holes.
    3. Use the four screws and the hex wrench that come in the hardware kit to secure the front stabilizer bracket and recirculation prevention plate (also referred to as the air baffle) to the rack cabinet.
