Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the server into a Telco (or “open”) type rack, use L-shaped brackets (p/n MCP-290-
00016-0N) on either side of the chassis (four total).
1.
Determine how far the server will extend out from the front of the rack. The chassis
should be positioned so that the weight is balanced between front and back.
2.
Attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets
positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the rack.
3. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.

of the rack first.
