The slide rails for the Sun Fire X2100 M2 server are compatible with a wide range of equipment racks that meet the following standards:

■Four-post structure (mounting at both front and rear). Two-post racks are not compatible.

■Rack horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA 310-D- 1992 or IEC 60927 standards.

■Distance between front and rear mounting planes of 610 mm and 915 mm (24 inches to 36 inches).

■Clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rack mounting plane at least 25.4 mm (1 inch).

■Clearance depth (to rear cabinet door) behind front rack mounting plane at least 800 mm (31.5 inches) with the cable management arm, or 700 mm (27.5 inches), without the cable management arm.

■Clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front and rear mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches).

Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

Caution – Ensure that the temperature in the rack does not exceed the server’s maximum ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all equipment installed in the rack, to ensure that the equipment is operated within its specified temperature range.
