Installation Guidelines

This chapter describes how to install your server into the rack.

Warning:  

Your server is designed for rack mounting. It is not designed for use as a 

desktop system. Do not place a monitor on the server or place anything on top of the 
enclosure. Additional weight on top of the server could cause damage to internal 
components.

Your server can be installed in these types of racks:

•

Open four-post rack, 19” wide, 24–26” deep or 29–36” deep

•

Cabinet with four-post rack inside, 19” wide, and 29–36” deep

•

Two-post Telco rack, 19” wide.

The server is two rack units (2RUs) tall.
