Intel SC450NX manual Prepare the Equipment Rack, Right-angle Bracket and Vertical Rail

Prepare the Equipment Rack

Before you can install the server in the 19-inch equipment rack, you must attach the center bar and large outer bar assemblies to the vertical rails of the rack.

Attach the Right-angle Extension Brackets to the Equipment Rack

/NOTE

Mounting holes in the vertical rails of equipment racks are commonly spaced in a 5/8 x 5/8 x 1/2-inch sequence. Perform the following steps carefully; brackets must be mounted with precision to allow room for the next server you install in a rack.

See Figure 5.

1.Remove a right-angle extension bracket, two screws, and a bar nut from the kit.

2.While facing the front or back of the rack, orient the right-angle extension bracket so that the short side with the four mounting holes is facing toward the outside edge of the vertical rail.

3.Position the bracket behind the mounting holes in the vertical rail.

4.With a pencil, mark the top and bottom hole locations of the bracket on both sides of the vertical rail; no hole numbers are printed on the rail.

5.Insert a screw through the marked top hole in the rail and through the top hole in the bracket. Place a bar nut on the screw and loosely tighten it. Repeat for the marked bottom hole.

6.Install the three remaining right-angle extension brackets on the other three vertical rails by repeating steps 1–5 above.
