Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (TMRA).
SuperServer 2028BT-Hxxx User Manual Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Installing the Rails on a Rack 1. Loosen the adjusting screw to allow the rear section to slide in the front section. 2. Push the small hooks on the front section of the rail into the holes on the front post of the rack and then down, until the spring-loaded pegs snap into the rack holes.
