CAUTION:
Do not place any object on top of a rack-mounted device unless that rack-mounted device is intended
for use as a shelf.
Make sure that you install filler panels over all unoccupied bays.
Always install the heaviest devices in the bottom of the rack cabinet. A configurator tool is available at
http://www.ibm.com/systems/x/configtools.html to assist you with determining where to install
optional devices in the rack.
For more information about rack cabinets and optional devices, see http://www.ibm.com/systems/xbc/
cog/rackcabinetsoptions/rackcabinetsoptions.html.
Installing devices on the rack-mounting flanges
For optional devices that require threaded holes for mounting, you must install either cage nuts or clip
nuts.
Use cage nuts in the square mounting holes provided in the rack-mounting flanges in the main horizontal
42U compartment. Use clip nuts in the round holes provided in the six 1U rear vertical-mounting
compartments. For detailed information about the mounting requirements for a device, see the
instructions that come with the device.
Note:
The rack cabinet comes with a supply of cage nuts and clip nuts, and devices that require them
come with the applicable cage nuts or clip nuts.
Installing threaded rails
