2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5018D-MHR7N4P
into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the server has already been mounted
into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 5018D-MHR7N4P.
Two front inner rails should already be attached to the chassis. Note that these two
rails are left/right specific.
Locking Tabs:
Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack, which is its normal position.
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 5018D-MHR7N4P in the rack
(see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the chassis rail guides
at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside
of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided.
Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are
at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
