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 the optional 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 

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 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.

 Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

The optional rackmount kit (MCP-290-00001-00) includes two rack rail assemblies. 

Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that 

secures to the chassis and an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself. 

The inner and outer rails must be detached from each other before installing.

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).
