Chapter 6: Rack Installation
Mid-Mount Telco Rack
The SC505 chassis supports Telco Rack installation. The compact design allows it
to be installed into a Telco rack without the use of rails.
Note
: Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Servers should always be installed
in racks from the bottom up.
Installing the Chassis into a Telco (Two-Post Style) Rack
To install the chassis into a Telco style two-post rack, use two L-shaped brackets
on either side of the chassis (four total).
1. 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.
2. If a bezel is included on your chassis, remove it.
3. Attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis.
