Installing the Server Into a Rack With Optional Slide Rails

To install your server in a four-post rack using the orderable slide-rail option, follow these procedures. These slide-rails 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 between 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) or 700 mm (27.5 inches) without cable management arm.

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

Note – Although the Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 server is pictured in the illustrations in this section, these procedures also apply to the Sun Fire X4200/X4200 M2 server.

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.
