SUPERSERVER 1018D-73MTF Manual
2-4 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 1018D-73MTF into a
rack. If the 1018D-73MTF has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. Note: The rails will fi t a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly
procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the 1018D-
73MTF into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the instal-
lation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fi xed chassis rail that secures
directly to the server chassis and an outer fi xed rack rail that secures directly to
the rack itself.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
