Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-9
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
Optional brackets are needed to install the server to a telco (open type) rack.
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use the two L-shaped brackets on either
side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend
out the front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight
between front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then
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 telco rack.
Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
