Wall mount orientation
This wall mount can only be installed in a single orientation—the retention latch on the top side of the wall
mount must be facing upward. When the server is installed on the wall mount, the server rear panel will be
facing upward as well.
Determine the location for the wall mount
Observe the following when determining the installation site for the wall mount:
•
Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 30 cm (11.81 in) around the ventilation openings.
The server draws in cool air through the ventilation openings on the left side, and expels warm air
through the ventilation openings on right side. Do not block these openings. Failure to observe this
caution will result in improper airflow and insufficient cooling that can lead to thermal damage.
•
Consider the effort required for installing and removing the server from the wall mount for servicing,
as well as the rear panel cabling connections.
•
Make sure that there is a reliable power source within 1.50 m (4.92 ft) of the server location.
•
Do not install the wall mount where the combined weight of the server and the wall mount (5.89 kg,
12.99 lb) cannot be supported.
Install the wall mount
The fasteners included in this kit support wall mount installation on either a hollow wall (dry wall or gypsum
over wood studs) or on a brick/concrete wall.
