Mounting in a Rack
3 Make sure that the rear of the server is not against a wall or other
obstruction.
Leave approximately 9 inches (23 cm) of free space at the rear of the server
for cable clearance.
4 Do not stack objects on top of the server.
You can order an optional rack mounting kit with your server (3Com part
number 3C759). This kit consists of two brackets, nuts, and screws that allow
you to mount the server in a two- or four-pole 19-inch rack.
You need #1 and #2 Phillips screwdrivers to mount the server in the rack.
You will probably need two people, one person to hold the server and the
other to attach it to the rack.
1 Fasten a rack mount bracket on each side of the server.
Remove the two outer screws from the sides of the server with the #1
Phillips screwdriver. Using the #4-40 screws provided, fasten a bracket to
each side of the server, as shown in Figure 2-4. Tighten each screw securely.
CAUTION: If you use fewer than four screws (two on each side) to fasten the
rack mount brackets to the sides of the server, the server can fall and sustain
damage. This voids the warranty.
2 Slip two spring-clip captive nuts over the holes of each rack pole where you
plan to install the server (see Figure 2-4).
Make sure that the nut goes behind the pole.
3 Attach the server to the rack.
One person should hold the server between the poles of the rack, while the
other attaches the server to the poles. Attach the server to the rack with the
four #10-32 panhead screws using the #2 Phillips screwdriver, as shown in
Figure 2-4. Tighten each screw securely.
