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 fit 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 fixed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed 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.
