Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the G-RACK 12 chassis into a rack unit with the quick-
release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
rack unit you are using.
Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of
two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed
rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
Installing the Inner Rail Extension
The G-RACK 12 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail
extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of
the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail extension is attached to the inner rail
to mount the chassis in the rack.
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chassis with
the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces “outward” just like the pre-attached inner
rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other inner rail extension.
Warning:
do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull the
system from a rack only.
