1.5 Chassis Installation
This task provides instructions for installing the rails and E3000 chassis into a rack, determining the IP
address of the BMC, powering up the chassis, and logging in to the BMC GUI to verify the health of the
PSUs.
Step 1 : Install the rails into the rack:
a. Determine which of the rails is the right and which is the left. The front of the rail can be
identified by the single rack mount pin, and the rear of the rail can be identified by the two
rack mount pins, as shown in the following image. Another way to orient the rails correctly
is to ensure that the shelf-flanges that support the enclosure are facing toward each other,
where the enclosure will reside.

b. Verify that the planned installation location for the enclosure has 3 rack units (U) of available
space. 3U of space is about 5.25 in./133.33 mm from bottom to top as shown in the
following image:
Tip: A T15 Torx screwdriver with torque measuring capabilities is recommended for
this step.
Caution: Always install rack-mounted equipment in the lowest available U height in
order to keep the rack's center of gravity low and reduce the risk of tipping.
