Installing the Rack Model in a Rack Enclosure
Preparing the Rack Enclosure
In this section, you will use the following parts:
Two slide bracket assemblies
Two slide rails (fitted to system unit)
One cable-management arm
Ten long screws (M6 by 16 mm)
Ten cage nuts
Installation template
Attention:
To ensure cabinet stability, plan the installation of servers in the rack enclosure
starting from the bottom.
Note: This procedure requires two people.
To attach the mounting hardware to the rack enclosure:
1. Mark the positions of the slide brackets on the mounting rails on the rack
enclosure.
a. Position the template on the front mounting rail on the rack enclosure,
aligning the holes. Secure the template in place with tape.
b. Mark the holes for the slide brackets and cage nuts. If you prefer, mark all
the cage nut positions on the rack at this time.
c. Carefully remove the tape from the mounting rails, and attach the template
to the rear mounting rails. Mark the locations for the slide brackets and
cage nuts.
Notes:
a. You must align the slide brackets correctly, or the installation cannot be
completed.
b. The slide rails have four screws each to allow for length adjustment.
2. Install the cage nuts in the marked positions as shown.
3. Attach the slide rail to the left side of the rack enclosure.
a. Extend the outer slide rail until the slide bracket is flush against the outside
of the left front mounting rail. Align the slide rail with the cage nuts on the
mounting rail.
