About installing the chassis
You should select a location for installing the VIPRION 2400 chassis that is easy to access for adding or
removing power supplies, the fan tray, or blades. The location should also provide adequate ventilation to
allow sufficient airflow through the platform. The platform employs a negative pressure fan system, which
draws cold air in from the front of the chassis and exhausts hot air out the back of the chassis. After you
have identified the intended location for the platform, you can install the chassis into the rack.
The VIPRION 2400 chassis comes pre-installed with mounting brackets and handles. The mounting brackets
are attached to the front of the chassis, but you can move them to either the middle or back of the chassis,
depending on the configuration of the rack. The handles make it easier to lift the chassis into position for
rack mounting.
