Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing with Rackmount Kit

This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8). Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-2). This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

Installing the Chassis Rails

The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do this by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position then pull the two rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.

Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the three screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The fi rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
