Mounting the System in a Rack

Center Mount
This section describes how the SGI 1200 server is installed into a rack with center mount
brackets. Table 3-2 lists the installation hardware included with your shipment.
1. Find the mounting hardware within the shipping container. Check the table above
to make sure you received all items necessary to complete the installation.
2. Place the SGI 1200 server on a flat surface.
3. Install the right and left rear mounting brackets loosely onto the back of the rack
frame.
Tip: Make sure you install the rails level. Count the holes on rack rails from the
bottom of the rack carefully on each side.
4. As one person slides the system onto the brackets from the front of the rack, and
holds it in place, the other person lines up the top two front screw holes. Tip the
system up slightly, and install the front two top chassis screws loosely to hold the
majority of the system’s weight. See Figure 3-2.
5. Install the bottom two chassis screws.
6. Tighten the front two bottom chassis screws first (one on each side), then the front
two top screws next.
