Page 22: Reliable Ground
SUPERSERVER 8048B-TR3F/C0R3FT User's Manual Reliable Ground A reliable ground must be maintained at all times. To ensure this, the rack itself should be grounded. Particular attention should be given to power supply connections other than the direct connections to the branch circuit (i.e. the use of power strips, etc.).
Page 23 Chapter 2: Server Installation Removing the Chassis Feet 1. Place the chassis on its side with the chassis side cover facing upward. 2. Remove the screw holding the chassis foot in place. 3. The foot lock is a tab located in the center of the foot that prevents the foot from sliding.
Page 24: Identifying The Sections Of The Rack Rails
SUPERSERVER 8048B-TR3F/C0R3FT User's Manual Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner ﬁ xed chassis rail that secures directly to the server chassis and an outer ﬁ xed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-2 for details).
Page 25 Chapter 2: Server Installation 5. Align the inner rails against the chassis, as shown in Figure 2-4. Conﬁ rm that the rails are ﬂ ushed against the edge of the chassis. Figure 2-4: Installing the Inner Rack Rails 6. Tighten the screws. Do not over tighten. 7.
Page 26 SUPERSERVER 8048B-TR3F/C0R3FT User's Manual Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack (Figure 2-5) 1. Attach the front and rear short brackets to the outside of the long bracket. Both bracket ends must face the same direction. 2. Adjust both the brackets to the proper distance so that the rail ﬁ ts snugly into the rack.
