This procedure can be used to install and configure the 5802 or 5877 expansion units
into a rack. The procedure includes information intended to promote
safety and reliable operation, and provides illustrations on how hardware
components relate to each other.
Installing the expansion unit into a rack is a customer task. You
can perform this task yourself, or contact a service provider to perform
the task for you. You might be charged a fee by the service provider
for this service.
Important: To complete this procedure,
it is suggested that you use two people to attach the rail assembly
to the rack. Position one person in front of the rack and one person
at the back of the rack.
To install the 5802 or 5877 into a rack, complete
these steps:
CAUTION:
Installing the rails in the rack is a complex
procedure. To install the rails correctly, you must perform each task
in the following order. Failure to do so might cause rail failure
and potential danger to yourself and the system unit. Also note that
three people are required to safely lift the expansion unit. Using
fewer than three people to lift the expansion unit can result in injury.
- Refer to the kitting list provided with the rack installation
kit, and complete a parts inventory.
- Locate the rack-mounting hardware kit and the system
rail assemblies that were included with your expansion unit.
- Determine where to locate the expansion unit in the
rack. See Determining the location.
The expansion unit is four Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) units
high. An EIA unit is 44.50 mm (1.75 in.) in height. The rack contains
three mounting holes for each EIA unit of height. This system unit,
therefore, is 177.8 mm (7 in.) high and covers 12 mounting holes in
the rack.
- Mark the location. See Marking the location.
