The preinstallation team completes the following tasks. If these tasks are not complete, do not

standard 19-in. (48-cm) 4-post equipment rack(s) is(are) properly installed and solidly
secured. Ensure that the screws that come with the racks are present. If you use a rack
cabinet, ensure that the cabinet has adequate ventilation.
● Verify that the rail kit to support the server is available to install.
● Verify that the rail kit that is required to support the UPS is installed on the rack or available
