Step 2: Install The Server In A Rack - Overland Storage snap server 410 Quick Start Manual

Step 2: Install the Server in a Rack

The Snap Server ships with two L-shaped rack mount brackets. You can attach them in one of two ways: (1) to the
front of the server for mounting to the front posts of a four-post rack; or, (2) to the middle or front of the server for
mounting to both posts of a Telco rack.
Caution The following procedure applies to standard EIA racks; other racks may not be able to support the
server using only the front posts. If you are using a non-EIA rack, Overland Storage recommends that you secure
the server using slide rails, available from Overland Storage or a Snap Server reseller.
1 Make sure you have the following items necessary for rack installation:
• Two (left and right) front rack mounting brackets
• Six rack ear screws to attach the brackets to the server
• Four rack mounting screws to
attach the brackets to the rack posts
• One Phillips screwdriver
2 If mounting the L-shaped brackets
to the front of the server (as shown
in the illustration), use the six
screws provided. (If mounting to the
middle of the server (not shown) for
installation into a Telco rack, only
four screws are used.)
3 Insert the server into the rack and
attach the server to the posts using the remaining four screws. You may need a second person to support the
server while tightening the mounting screws.
Note For slide rail installation instructions, see the documentation on the CD that comes with the slide rail
installation hardware kit.
