2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6025B-UR into a rack unit. If the 6025B-UR 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 following 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.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

You should have received a total of six rack rail sections with the SuperServer 6025B-UR. Two of these sections secure directly to the 6025B-UR and the third (which actually consists of two joined sections) secures directly to the rack itself. All screws and hardware mentioned in the installation steps should be included in the hardware kit.

Refer to Figure 2-1 to determine which rail section gets attached to the front of the chassis and which gets attached to the rear of the chassis. (The longer of the two is the front section. The third rail section attaches to the rack.)

Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the front and rear chassis rail sections along the side of the 6025B-UR making sure the screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the front chassis rail (the long piece) securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1, step 1). There should be two screws for each side. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the opposite side of the chassis. Then attach the two rear chassis rails to the chassis in the same manner, again keeping in mind that the rails are left/right specifi c. (You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installng into a telco rack.)

Locking Tabs: Both front chassis rails and the rack 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.
