Chapter 6
Rack Installation
This chapter provides instructions for installing the chassis into a rack.
6-1 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in, and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should file a damage claim with
the carrier who delivered it.
Mounting rails are an option for the SC748 chassis. Be sure you have ordered and
received the correct type.
6-2 Preparing for Setup
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. Place it near a
grounded power outlet.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front
door completely (~25 inches).
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow
for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.
