Chapter 2 Install the Computer
Mount the 1450R Computer in a Rack Cabinet
You can install the 1450R computer in a rack cabinet that does the following:
• Conforms to EIA standards for equipment with 483 mm (19 in.) wide
panels
• Accommodates the 4U height and depth of the computer
• Provides rear clearance for cables and airflow
A rack cabinet with a depth of 610 mm (24 in.) is sufficient.
Support the computer with rack slides or by fastening it to a shelf. The four
flanges of the computer secure the computer horizontally only to the front
mounting rails of the rack cabinet.
Follow these steps to mount the 1450R computer.
1. Verify that the mounting location provides adequate space for cables and
airflow.
See Mounting Clearance Requirements on page 22 for recommended
allowances.
2. Attach the supplied rack handles to the computer.
Torque the screws to 1.3 N•m (12.1 lb•in).
3. See Install Rack Slides (1450R Computer) on page 96 on how to install
rack slides to the rack cabinet and the 1450R computer.
IMPORTANT Rack slides are not supplied with the computer and must be ordered
separately.
See Mounting Hardware on page 22 for the catalog number necessary for
ordering.
See Install Rack Slides (1450R Computer) on page 96 if you have purchased
the rack slides.
TIP For ease of installation, use two or more people to install the computer.
