Install the heaviest server components on the bottom of the rack first, and then
work up.

Use a regulating, uninterruptible power supply (UPS) to protect the server from
power surges, voltage spikes and to keep your system operating in case of a
power failure.
•
Allow the hard drives and power supply modules to cool before touching them.

Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the SC811 chassis into a rack unit with
the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
the assembly procedure will differ slightly. Refer also to the installation instructions
that came with the rack unit.
Note: The rails will fit a rack between 29" and 35.25" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly
to the server chassis and an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
Rail Brackets
The chassis package includes four rail brackets and two chassis mounts. The rail
brackets have long ovals used to adjust the length of the rails when mounting. The
chassis mounts (both short) have one square hole.
