While I haven't racked large computer systems, I used to do a lot with
audio, and racking large amplifier arrays. What we did was lay the rack
down on the ground, front facing up. then we "dropped" in the amps so
that the faces were pointing up. Then when the rack was filled, we
would lift the top of the rack so that it was standing upright. Took 2
people, but that was only to lift it. One person could do the install
and mounting quite easily.
