7. Slide the system in and out of the rack to verify that the cables are routed
correctly and do not bind, stretch, or pinch with the movement of the cable-

the locking latch on the side of the slide to release the locks, and then slide the
system completely into the rack.
Replacing the Rack Doors
The following subsections describe procedures for replacing the rack doors on earlier
Dell 42-U and 24-U racks. If you have a Dell PowerEdge 4210 rack, see the procedures
contained in the Dell PowerEdge 4210 Rack Installation Guide.
Replacing the Rack Doors on a 42-U Rack
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury due to the size and weight of the
doors, never attempt to remove or replace the doors by yourself.
1. Lift the front door into position and align the hinges with the holes in the rack as
shown in Figure 1-12.
2. Slide the hinges into the holes in the rack until the hinge release levers lock the
hinges into position.
3. Close the door latch by rotating the handle counterclockwise until it stops, push
in the handle until it locks in position, and then slide the button cover down over
the push button (see Figure 1-11).
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 to install the back door.
Replacing the Rack Doors on a 24-U Rack
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury due to the size and weight of the
doors, never attempt to remove or replace the doors by yourself.

(see Figure 1-14).
2. Line up the door hinges and then press them down.
3. Close the door latch by rotating the handle counterclockwise until it stops, and
