Installing generic mounting brackets

If you are installing the server in a non-Gateway cabinet, use the generic mounting brackets. These brackets allow for different cabinet depths. If generic mounting brackets are already installed in the cabinet, go to “Installing the cabinet mounting rails onto generic brackets” on page 14.

To install the generic mounting brackets in the cabinet:

1If you received a mounting template with your cabinet, use it to locate the exact position of the cabinet mounting brackets.

Caution

When considering the position of the system in the cabinet,

 

make sure that a hazardous stability condition is not

 

created because of uneven loading.

 

 

2Position the front mounting bracket (shorter bracket) on the front vertical mounting rail.

3Attach the front mounting bracket to the front vertical mounting rail using two screws from the accessory kit.

If screw holes in the front vertical mounting rail are not threaded, attach the front mounting bracket by using the screws and bar nut from the accessory kit.
