2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit. Rack
installation requires the use of a rackmount kit. If the system has already been
mounted into a rack or if you are using it as a tower, you can skip ahead to Sec-
tions 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the server 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.
Note: This rail
will fi t a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The optional rackmount kit includes two rack rail assemblies. Each of these as-
semblies consist of three sections: an inner
fi xed chassis rail that secures to the
chassis, an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself and a middle rail
which extends from the outer rail. These assemblies are speci
fi cally designed for
the left and right side of the chassis.
To remove the inner chassis rail, 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 (one for each side).
