Removing and Installing from a Rack

Three Intel® rack options are available to install the Intel® Server System SR1500AL in a rack. The options are the fixed bracket kit, the basic rail kit, and the tool-less rail kit. Only the tool-less rail kit allows you to service the server system while installed in a rack. The other rack options require the system to be removed from the rack before servicing.

Note: Follow all safety guidelines while removing a system from a rack to avoid injury.

Fixed Bracket Rack Mount Removal
