Chapter 6: Rack Installation Rack Mounting Considerations Ambient Operating Temperature If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the ambient operating tempera- ture 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 tempera- ture (Tmra).
SC825 Chassis Manual Rack Mounting Instructions This section provides information on installing the SC825 chassis into a rack unit with the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Chapter 6: Rack Installation Figure 6-2. Installing the Inner Rail Extensions Installing the Inner Rail Extension The SC825 chassis includes a set of inner rails in two sections: inner rails and inner rail extensions. The inner rails are pre-attached to the chassis, and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis if you decide not to use a server rack.
SC825 Chassis Manual SCREW screw the handles the outer rails for secure purpose if necessary Figure 6-3. Assembling the Outer Rails Outer Rack Rails Outer rails attach to the rack and hold the chassis in place. The outer rails for the SC825 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.
