Installing the Server In the Rack Using the
Universal Rack Mounting Kit
This topic describes how to install your server in a rack using the universal rack mounting
hardware.
If you are not certain whether you have the standard rack mounting kit or the universal rack
mounting kit, see
“How to Identify Your Rack Mounting Kit” on page 17 , then proceed to the
corresponding section.
Note the following:
■
If your server is shipped already installed in a rack, skip to “How to Remove the Universal
Rack Mounting Kit Shipping Brackets” on page 80 .
■
If you are going to ship the server in a rack, you must install the shipping brackets as
described in “How to Install the Universal Rack Mounting Kit Shipping Brackets” on
page 76 .

Tools and Staff Required
Caution –
The server weighs about 180 pounds (100 kg) when fully loaded with components. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to install
the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as described in
“How to
Remove Components to Reduce Weight” on page 26 . This reduces the weight of the server to 80
pounds (45 kg).
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it does not become top-heavy
and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment
installation.
Before installing the server into a rack, gather the tools, equipment, and staff required.
