Installing a Sun Fire V440

Server Into a 4-Post Cabinet

This chapter shows you how to install a Sun Fire V440 server into a 4-post Sun™ StorEdge Expansion Cabinet or other Electronic Industries Association (EIA)-compliant 19-inch (48.26-cm) wide rack. If you are installing a Sun Fire V440 server into a 2-post rack, refer to the 2-post rackmounting instructions that are included on the Documentation CD in the Ship kit.

Note – To install a server into an EIA-compliant 19-inch wide rack with mounting holes sized for U.S. dimension screws, use 10-32 screws and 8-32 screws to attach the slide assemblies to the rack. The rackmounting kit includes 8-32 and 10-32 screws and washers.

To install a server into an EIA-compliant 19-inch wide rack with mounting holes sized for metric dimension screws, use M4 or M6 screws—depending on your rack model—to attach the slide assemblies to the rack. The rackmounting kit includes M4 and M6 screws and washers.

The service label on the top cover of the server illustrates the rackmounting steps in a convenient graphical overview. However, the instructions in this guide are more detailed.
