▼Obtaining required tools, personnel, and materials

1.Make sure that the selected rack meets the following specifications:

■The rack has four posts, with a mounting at both front and rear (two-post racks are not compatible with the VTL Value slide-rails).

■The horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch of the rack conform to ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 standards.

■The rack’s front and rear rack-mounting planes are 23-34 inches (58-87 cm) apart.

■The minimum depth from the rack’s front cabinet door to the front rack-mounting plane is

1.85inches (4.7 cm).

■The minimum depth from the rear cabinet door to the front rack-mounting plane is 38 inches (96.5 cm) with the cable-management arm installed (recommended) or

31.5inches (80.0 cm) without the cable management arm.

■The minimum width between obstructions (such as structural supports and cable troughs) is 18 inches (45.6 mm) at all points between the front and rear mounting planes.

2.Make sure that the available power meets the requirements listed in the table below:

Location	Voltage	Amperage	Plug type	Receptacle type
US/North America:	250 VAC	30 A	NEMA L6 30P	NEMA L6-30R
EMEA:	230 VAC	32 A	IEC-309P	IEC-309R

3.Have the orderable slide-rail assemblies at hand.

4.Have the following tools at hand:

■one 10-inch #2 Phillips screwdriver, preferably with a magnetic tip

■a carpenter’s spirit level

■a mechanical lift (highly recommended).

Caution – The VTL Value appliance weighs 160 pounds (72.7 kg) when fully loaded with components. To prevent injury to personnel or damage to the equipment, Sun strongly recommends using a mechanical lift when installing the server in a rack.

5.If a mechanical lift is not available, make sure that at least four trained people are available to remove the server or reduce the weight of the server by removing components:

■Remove both power supplies.

■Remove the system controller.
