2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5016I-T/5016I-TF into a rack unit. If the system 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 unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. 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 two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer 5016I- T/5016I-TF. Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner fixed chas- sis rail that secures to the unit (A) and an outer fixed rack rail (B) that secures to the rail brackets. A sliding rail guide sandwiched between the two should remain attached to the fixed rack rail (see Figure 2-1). The A and B rails must be detached from each other to install.

To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Then depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out. Do this for both the left and right side rack rail assemblies.
