Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the SC826 chassis into a rack unit
with the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market,
which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to
the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Separating the Sections of the Rack 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 fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack
itself.

Installing the Inner Rail Extension

The SC826 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner
rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere
with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack. The inner rail
extension is attached to the inner rail to mount the chassis in the rack.
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Place the inner rail extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with 2 screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other
inner rail extension.
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.

Slide rail mounted equipment is not to be used as a shelf or a work space.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
