2.3 Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails
provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly
procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the
installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Note:
This rail set will fit a rack between 28" and 33.5" deep. The F619P2/3-FT is not designed
for installation into a Telco post-style rack unit.
Stability Hazard:
The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must
be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the
rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Warning:
Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
Warning:
When initially installing the server to a rack, test that the rail locking tabs engage to
prevent the server from being overextended. Have a rack lift in place as a precaution in case
the test fails.
Warning:
In any instance of pulling the system from the rack, always use a rack lift and follow
all associated safety precautions.
