2-4 Installing the SuperServer 6012P-8 into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6012P-8 into
a rack unit. If the 6012P-8 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.
The following is a guideline for installing the 6012P-8 into a rack with the
rack rails provided. 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 should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer
6012P-8. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner
fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6012P-8 (A) and an outer fixed rack
rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B). A sliding rail guide sand-
wiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail.
(See Figure 2-1.) The A and B rails must be detached from each other to
install.
To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), 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. Then depress the locking tab to pull
the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack
rail assemblies.
