2.3 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC825TQC chassis into a rack unit with the
quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions
that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note:
This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly
consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis
and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
Installing the Inner Rails
The SC825TQC chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner
rail extensions. Inner rail extensions are attached to the inner rails to mount the chassis in
the rack.
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the
chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces "outward" just like
the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other inner rail
extension.
Separating the Inner and Outer Rails
1. Locate the rail assembly in the chassis
packaging.
2. Extend the rail assembly by pulling it outward.
3. Press the quick-release tab.
4. Separate the inner rail extension from the
outer rail assembly.
