2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SC842 chassis into a rack unit
with the quick-release rails provided. 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.
Mounting the Chassis in an Open (Telco) Style Rack
To install the chassis into a Telco type rack, use one L-shaped bracket on either
side of the chassis (two 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 chassis, remove it, then at-
tach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis. Finish by sliding the chassis
into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack. Additional L-brackets may be
purchased separately if additional support is required.
