To ensure the stability of the rack enclosure, install the rack components in the rack enclosure starting from the bottom.
To attach the rack-shelf to the rack enclosure:
1. Locate the rack-shelf and position the shelf just below where you want to have the Compaq W8000 located in the rack.
2. Select the lowest position in the rack where you can mount the rack-shelf and Compaq W8000. Position the rack-shelf so that the bottom of the shelf is at the baseline of a U-alignment position (see
Figure 2).
