2.9.1 Considerations for Installation Site and Chassis
•
Make sure you have an appropriate site location and cables prepared
with adequate lengths to connect to main power and other devices.
•
At least two people will be required to install the chassis. Disk drives
should only be installed after the chassis is properly mounted. The
chassis can weigh about 24Kgs without disk drives.
•
The following tools are necessary for mounting the chassis:
#4 Phillips-head screwdriver
Wrenches may be necessary, depending on the rack type
•
Use the included M5 or M6 screws for securing the chassis through its
front mounting ears.
•
More details about the use of optional slide rails are given in the
Installation Guide that came with the slide rail package.
2.9.2 Mounting Holes Positions
•
Integrators may design their own brackets or slide rails using the
twenty-two (22) mounting holes on the sides of chassis.
•
There are six (6) mounting holes with six (6) M4 nuts near the end of
the chassis on each side. Shown below are the locations of these
mounting holes. (See the arrow marks in
Figure 2-111
). See the next
diagram for another group of mounting holes on a horizontal line.
