Rackmount Guidelines.
•
A maximum of six systems per each power
controller unit in a rackmount cabinet.
Unpack Rackmount Box
The rackmount box is one of three long boxes found
in the system's shipping carton (see Figure 1). It
contains these instructions, two rails, U-clips and
screws, and two rackmount ears for securing the
system in the rack.
Figure 1 Unpacking the Rackmount Kit
Determine Base Zero
Decide the relative position of the system in the rack.
Base zero is where the bottom of the system will be
when installed in the rack.
If your system is the first system in the rack, then
th th
base zero is between the 6 and 7
floor of the rackmount cabinet. This distance allows
the system to clear the power controllers and provide
space for cable management.
If you are adding your system to a rack already
populated, then base zero is the top of the system
underneath the system to be installed. This system
needs a clearance of 9 holes to accommodate the
system height.
Mark and Prepare the Rails
•
Using the template on the back of this card (
•
Figure 9) mark holes 2 and 5 on an interior rail,
and base zero (see Figure 2).

PK1038-99
•
Mark all four of the inner rails (see Figure 3).
•
If you are installing more than one
AlphaServer DS10 in the rack at the same
time: using the template, mark the top of the first
system you are installing. Use this as base zero
for the second system, move the template up,
mark holes 2 and 5, and the top of this system,
until you have marked holes for all of systems
hole up from the you are installing.
•
Insert a U-clip at each hole you have marked.
