Ensure that the location of the rack-mount server does not
create an unstable condition when installed in the rack
cabinet.
Before you begin select an appropriate location in your rack cabinet for the
rack-mount server. To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the
bottom of the rack cabinet. If the rack is a stand-alone unit and the rack is more
than 75% filled with components, consider installing an optional stabilizer kit.
Note:
rack cabinet you should consider the length of the cables
that interconnect system components.
The rack mounting components that shipped with your server are shown in
Figure 2-1. Your server is mounted on a set of slide rail assemblies that allow it
to move freely in and out of the system rack. The triple-hinged cable retention
arm assembly attaches to the rear of the server and to the rack frame and allows
cables to swing in and out of the way as the server slides back and forth within
the rack cabinet. All the server cables can be tie-wrapped to the cable retention
arm.
