Warning: Your chassis rack-mount kit provides the option for mounting the system in a
two-post front-mount-only configuration. However, mounting your chassis using this option is
not recommended for use in most rack systems. In fact, the front mount method is highly
discouraged, as most racks are unable to safely and reliably support the entire weight of a
server through the front rack posts
If a front-mount-only configuration is desired, it is highly recommended that you verify
through your rack vendor that your specific rack is designed to support the excessive weight
and stresses this type of mounting configuration imposes on the rack. Structural failure of the
rack is likely if it is not designed for this type of load. A four-post or a two-post mid-mount
configuration should be used when possible.
