Installing a Sun Fire V490
Server Into a 4-Post Cabinet
This chapter describes how to install a Sun Fire™ V490 server into a 4-post Sun
expansion cabinet or other EIA-compliant 19-inch (48.26-cm) wide cabinet. If you are
installing a Sun Fire V490 server into a 2-post rack, see Chapter 2.
Note – To install a server into a cabinet with mounting holes sized for U.S. screws,
use the 10-32 screws included in the rackmounting kit to attach the slide assemblies
to the cabinet. If the mounting holes are sized for metric screws, use the M6 screws
included in the rackmounting kit to attach the slide assemblies to the cabinet. Use
the same screws to secure the server to the front mounting rails.
The service label affixed to the top of the server chassis illustrates the rackmounting
steps in a convenient graphical overview.
