Installing Your Server in a Rack

If you’ve installed the server in a cabinet, replace and close the cabinet door.

Once the server is secured in the rack or cabinet, you can attach cables for the server’s
connections.

See “Connect Cables to the Server” on page 40 for details of connecting cables and using the
cable-management arm.

Install the Server in a Two-Post (Telco) Rack

The server attaches to a two-post rack at the center of the enclosure, so that the front and
back of the server extend beyond the rack.

Follow these steps to install the server in a two-post rack. (These instructions assume that
you have previously taken the cover off the server; see “Prepare the Server for Installation”
on page 25 for details.)

Important

Before installing the server in a two-post rack, make certain that the rack is

securely fastened to the floor. Also check the rack’s documentation for any specific
installation instructions.
