XMS Hardware Overview
Mounting the Xmedia Server chassis in a rack
Included in the shipping package is a rack mounting kit, which contains the rails, screws and
washers required to mount the Xmedia Server chassis into an equipment rack.
Note that the rails are designed to fit in racks with a depth of 26” to 33.5”. Due to the heavy
weigh of the unit, the rack in which the Xmedia Server unit will be installed should be
anchored to the building’s structure.

Xmedia Server devices are intended to be installed in a restricted access location by
qualified personnel. All health and safety regulations and precautions must be observed.
Included in the shipping package are a pair of rail assemblies. Each rail assembly consists
of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an
outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
Figure

demonstrates that the inner rail assemblies are composed of two sections: inner
rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, while the
inner rail extensions must be installed manually to the chassis.
Figure 2-4. The Enterprise Server’s inner rail assemblies
Once the inner rails are attached to the chassis, you must assemble and install the outer
rails to the rack. Once both the inner and outer rail assemblies are properly installed, you
can mount the Enterprise Server’s chassis into the rack by sliding the inner rails into the
outer rails.
Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves to lock the server in place when installed
and pushed fully in the rack, as well as preventing the server from coming completely out
when it is fully extended from the rack.
