2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6025B-3/6025B-3R into a rack unit. If the 6025B-3/6025B-3R has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The follow- ing is a guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Installing the Chassis Rails

You should have received four rack sections with the 6025B-3/6025B-3R consist- ing of two long and two short rails sections. These secure directly to the chassis. All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in the hardware kit.

Position the chassis rail sections alongside of the chassis making sure the screw holes line up - the long sections to the front of the chassis and the sorter ones to the rear. Note that these rails are left/right specific. Screw the rails securely to the chassis (see Figure 2-1). There should be two screws for each section. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: The chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first 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.
