    AS1011M-T2 User's Manual Installing the System into a Rack This section provides information on installing the 1011M-T2 into a rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.
  • Page 21 Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Chassis Rails Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis making sure the fi ve screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2).
  • Page 22 AS1011M-T2 User's Manual Installing the Server into the Rack You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chas- sis rails with the front of the rack rails.
  • Page 23 Chapter 2: Server Installation Installing the Server into a Telco Rack If you are installing the 1011M-T2 into a Telco type rack, follow the directions given on the previous pages for rack installation.

  • Page 33: Esd Precautions

    ESD Precautions Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is generated by two objects with different electrical charges coming into contact with each other. An electrical discharge is created to neutralize this difference, which can damage electronic com ponents and printed circuit boards. The following measures are generally suffi cient to neutralize this difference before contact is made to protect your equipment from ESD: Use a grounded wrist strap designed to prevent static discharge.
