Rail Kit Installation
The Intel® Server System M70KLP includes a rail kit for system installation into a 4-post rack or cabinet. The
following installation guidelines should be observed.
•
For proper system ventilation, leave a minimum of 15 cm clearance in the front and rear of the
system.
•
Servers are high-power electrical appliances. They should be installed into dedicated cabinets with
vents or professional water-cooled cabinets to prevent system failures caused by overheating.
•
If installing more than one server or component into a given rack or cabinet, begin installing them
from the bottom and load the heaviest items first.
•
Note the cabinet's load-bearing capacity, power source capacity, and heat dissipation capacity. Be
sure not to install devices that go beyond the cabinet's capacity thresholds.
•
For the convenience of using the front and rear ports of the system and to allow for cabling, leave a
minimum clearance of 70 mm between the front of the server and the inside of the cabinet's front
door. Leave 150 mm between the back of the system and the inner side of the cabinet's back door.
•
Due to the weight of a system, Intel recommends carrying the system with two or more people
supporting the system from the sides, using a mechanical lift, or a cart when moving the system from
one location to another.
•
If your system has rack handles installed, do not lift, or carry the system solely by the rack handles.
These handles are intended for the sole purpose of pulling a system from or pushing it into a rack.
•
When lifting or moving a system, it is best to grasp and lift it by all four corners using two or more
people. Do not grasp and lift the system by two opposing diagonal corners. Doing so will flex the
chassis that may damage the internal system components.
•
With no other option available but to lift the system using only two points of contact, grasp and lift
the system at the mid-point of each side of the system.
Installing the rails:
1. Remove the Inner Rail from the Right and Left rail assemblies.
•
Pull the white tab and pull out the inner rail
