Installing the System into a Rack

Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis
(four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis
should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your
server, remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear
brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the rack. Finish by
sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
Server Access After Rack Installation
After you install the unit in the rack, you may need to open the top cover (see Figure 2-5 on
page 18) to access the serverboard or confirm that all components are properly installed and all
the connections have been made.
Grasp the two handles on either side and pull the system straight out until it locks (you should hear
a "click"). If you need to remove the server completely: disconnect all cables at the rear, depress
the locking rail-tabs on either side of the server and slide it completely off the outer rack rail
assembly. The server is heavy when fully loaded, use two people for this process if possible.
