Appendix D. Installing a PC Server 325 in a Server Rack
This appendix provides instructions for installing a PC Server 325
drawer model in a 19-inch server rack enclosure.

in “Before You Begin”; then, continue at “Installing the Drawer
Model in a Rack” on page 236.

If your PC Server 325 is a tower model and you want to install
it as a drawer in a server rack enclosure, you must order the PC
Server Rack Mount Kit. This kit contains the appropriate front,
top, and bottom covers, in addition to the brackets and the cable
management arm that you need to install the server into the
rack. Review the preinstallation information in “Before You
Begin”; then, continue at “Preparing a Tower Model for Rack
Installation” on page 231.
Before You Begin
Ÿ You will need the following items:
– Flat-blade screwdriver
– 8-inch adjustable wrench or pliers
– Tape
– Pencil
Some of the installation procedures require two people.
Ÿ Before you begin to install your server in the rack, review the
safety and handling guidelines specified under “Safety
Information” on page vii, “Electrical Safety” on page 53, and
“Handling Static-Sensitive Devices” on page 54. These
guidelines will help you work safely while working with your
server and options.
Ÿ
Review the documentation that comes with your rack enclosure
for safety or cabling considerations. Ensure that your planned
installation is within the rack's guidelines for heat generation,
electrical requirements, air flow, and mechanical loading.
Ÿ To ensure cabinet stability, plan the installation of servers in the
rack starting from the bottom.
