Chapter 2: Installation in a Rack Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack This chapter provides instructions for mounting your chassis in a rack. Preparing for Setup The box in which your system was shipped should include the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack. Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
SUPERSERVER 5018D-FN4T User's Manual Warnings and Precautions Rack Precautions • Ensure that the leveling jacks on the bottom of the rack are fully extended to the floor with the full weight of the rack resting on them. • In single rack installation, stabilizers should be attached to the rack. In multiple rack installations, the racks should be coupled together.
Chapter 2 Installation in a Rack Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating temperature of the rack environment may be greater than the ambient temperature of the room. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the manufacturer’s maximum rated ambient temperature (Tmra).
