1.4 Installing the Server Into a Rack With
Optional Slide-Rails
Perform the procedures in this section, in the order in which they are listed, to install
your server into a four-post rack using the orderable slide-rail options These slide-
rails are compatible with a wide range of equipment racks that meet the following
standards:
■ Four-post structure (mounting at both front and rear). Two-post racks are not
compatible.
■ Rack horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA
310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 standards.
■ Distance between front and rear mounting planes between 610 mm and 915 mm
(24 inches to 36 inches).
■ Clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rack mounting plane at
least 25.4 mm (1 inch).
■ Clearance depth (to rear cabinet door) behind front rack mounting plane at least
800mm (31.5 inches), or 700 mm (27.5 inches), without cable management arm.
■ Clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front
and rear mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches).
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack
will not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent
the rack from tipping during equipment installation.
Caution – Ensure that the temperature in the rack does not exceed the server’s
maximum ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all
equipment installed in the rack, to ensure that the equipment is operated within its
specified temperature range.
