Optional — Rack Configuration

If you are using the optional rack configuration, assemble the rails and install the system in the rack following the safety instructions and the rack installation instructions provided with your system.

NOTE: For more information on converting the system to rack mode, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

Installing A Server Module

CAUTION: Install a blank in all empty server slots to maintain proper thermal conditions.

NOTE: The enclosure only supports Dell PowerEdge M520, M620, and M820 server modules that are specifically configured for the enclosure, and can be identified by a label marked PCIe on the server module. If you install PowerEdge M520, M620, or M820 server modules that are not configured for the enclosure, an error message is displayed. For more information on configuring a server module for the enclosure, see the Dell PowerEdge VRTX Owner's Manual at dell.com/poweredgemanuals.

NOTE: To install the M820 full-height server module(s), you must remove the server module partitions. For more information, see the Owner’s Manual.
