Rack Installation

6-1 Overview

This chapter provides a quick setup checklist to install the chassis into a rack.

6-2 Unpacking the System

You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage you should file a damage claim with the carrier who delivered it.

Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. You will also need it placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server Pre- cautions in the next section.

6-3 Preparing for Setup

The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws you will need to install the system into the rack. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.

Choosing a Setup Location

Leave enough clearance in front of the rack to enable you to open the front door completely (~25 inches).

Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for sufficient airflow and ease in servicing.

This product is for installation only in a Restricted Access Location (dedicated equipment rooms, service closets and the like).
