2-5 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 will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep. The F424AS2 is not designed for
installation into a Telco post-style rack unit.Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front
handles. They are designed to pull the system from a rack only.
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 fol-
low all associated safety precautions.
