Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit. Rack
installation requires the use of the optional rackmount kit. If the system has already
been mounted into a rack or if you are using it as a tower, 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 server into a rack with the rack rails provided in the rackmount kit.
You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit
you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The optional rackmount kit includes two rack rail assemblies. Each of these as-
semblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the
chassis, an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself and two rail brackets,
which also attack to the rack (see Figure 2-1.) The inner and outer rails must be
detached from each other to install. To remove the inner chassis rail, 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. Depress the locking tab to pull the
inner rail completely out. Do this for both assemblies (one for each side).
