Figure 6-6:  Installing the Server into a Telco Rack

Installing the Chassis into a Telco rack

To install the chassis into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either 
side of the chassis (four 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 server, remove it. Then at-
tach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets 
positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish 
by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
