Installing the server in the rack enclosure:
This process is divided into two parts: preparing the rack
and installing the server.
Important
1. Installing the server in a rack requires three
people.
2. To ensure cabinet stability, install the servers
starting from the bottom of the rack enclosure.
3. If you are installing different server models in the
rack enclosure, install the heaviest models in the
lower part of the rack enclosure.
You will need a flat-blade screwdriver.
Note
In preparing the rack you will use either cage nuts or
clip nuts, as appropriate for your style rack. For
brevity, this document uses the term cage nuts only.
Preparing the rack enclosure:
Complete the
following procedure to attach the mounting hardware to the
rack enclosure.
1. Mark the positions of the slide brackets and the cable
management arm on the mounting rails of the rack
enclosure.
a. Position the template on the front mounting rail,
aligning the holes.
b. Mark the holes for the slide bracket cage nuts,
using the dots supplied with the template. If you
require additional security for the server, also
mark the holes for the chassis bracket cage
nuts.
c. Move the template to the rear mounting rails.
Mark the locations for the slide bracket cage
nuts and the cable-management-arm mounting
bracket.
Note
You must align the slide brackets correctly or the
installation cannot be completed.
2. Install the cage nuts in the marked positions as
shown.
