v Always install stabilizer brackets on the rack cabinet.
v Always install servers and optional devices starting from the bottom of
the rack cabinet.

Installing the NetBAY25 stabilizer bracket:
1. Use a 12 mm open-end wrench 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.
2. Attach the stabilizer bracket to the front of the rack cabinet with the screws that
come with the bracket.
3. If necessary, bolt the rack cabinet to the floor through the provided holes in the
stabilizer bracket.
