2-4 Installing the 7043P-8R into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 7043P-8R
into a rack unit. If the 7043P-8R has already been mounted into a rack or if
you are using it as a tower, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the as-
sembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for install-
ing the 7043P-8R into a rack with the rack rails provided in the rackmount
kit. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails:
The optional 7043P-8R rackmount kit (CSE-PT26 or CSE-PT26B - black) in-
cludes two rack rail assemblies. Each of these assemblies consist of three
sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 7043P-8R (A), an
outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B) and a sliding
rail guide sandwiched between the two, which should remain attached to
the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1.) The A and B rails must be detached
from each other to install. Two chassis handles are also included with the
rail kit.
To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you
should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail
assembly and locks the inner rail. Depress the locking tab to pull the
inner rail completely out. Do this for both assemblies.
