Rack Installation Instructions
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. When
installing your server in a rack cabinet, consider the following:
Two or more people are required to install the device in a rack cabinet.
You must have a NetBAY25, NetBAY42, NetBAY42 Enterprise, NetBAY22 with Rack Extension Kit,
Netfinity
9306 Model 900 with Rack Extension Kit, or similar rack cabinet.
Ensure the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
Do not block any air vents, usually 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides proper airflow.
Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
Take precaution to prevent overloading the power outlets when you install multiple devices in a rack
cabinet.
Use safe practices when lifting.
Do not place any object weighing more than
50 kg (110 lb) on top of rack-mounted
devices.
You will need a flat-blade and a Phillips screwdriver during the installation. The following illustration
