Converting to a Rack Mount Server Unit

You can convert a pedestal system to a rack mounted server unit using an optional rack installation kit available from your dealer. The kit contains the slide rails, bezel frame, and other hardware necessary for mounting the system in an EIA-compatible 19-inch equipment rack. Once you have the kit, use the following procedures to prepare the system for mounting in a rack. You should also follow any instructions that may come with the kit.

Before starting the conversion, ensure that you have all the parts necessary for the conversion (check the packing slip that comes with the rack installation kit). You should also observe and implement the following equipment rack warnings and cautions.
