Installing the System In a Two-Post Rack

This section contains instructions for installing a Sun Fire B1600 blade system chassis
into a non-specific two-post rack. These instructions are for both 19 -inch and
23 -inch rackmount options.

The system chassis is shipped with orange sacrificial lifting handles for handling the
system chassis. The handles must be stored in a safe place after the system chassis is
installed in a rack or cabinet.

Note –

The figures in this section are simplified to show only those rails to which

the system chassis rack brackets are attached.

3.2.1

Contents of the Two-Post Rackmount Kit

The two-post rackmount kit comprises:

The Rack Buddy

Four rackmount brackets

One set of 10-32 UNF Sun Microsystems rackmounting screws for Sun racks

You must supply the appropriate screws to attach the brackets to any rack not
supplied by Sun Microsystems.
