Rackmount Guidelines
•
If you are installing four DS10L systems, see the
AlphaServer DS10L Quad-Bracket Rackmount
Installation
(EK-DS10L-QM).
•
A maximum of eight DS10L systems may be
installed for each rackmount power distribution
unit.

Unpack Rackmount Kit
The rackmount kit contains these instructions, two
brackets, U-clips and screws, two sets of threaded guide
pins (one set attached to the brackets and one spare set),
and two rackmount ears for securing the system in the
rack. (see Figure 1).

Determine Base Zero
Decide the relative position of the system in the rack.
Base zero is where the bottom of the system will be when
installed in the rack.
If your system is the first system in the rack,
then base
zero is between the first and second hole up from the floor
of the rackmount cabinet.
If you are adding your system to a rack already
populated
, then base zero is the top of the system
underneath the DS10L you are installing. Each DS10L
system height requires 1U (1.75 inches).
Mark and Prepare the Rails
•
Using the template on the back of this card (Figure
6), on both front rails and the rear interior rails,
mark base zero and hole 2 (see Figure 2).
•
If you are installing more than one AlphaServer
DS10L in the rack at the same time:
using the
template, mark the top of the first system you are
installing.
Use this as base zero for the second system, move
the template up aligning with base zero, mark hole
2 and the top of this system, until you have marked
holes for each system you are installing.
•
Insert a U-clip at each rear interior hole you have
marked.
