Rack requirements
Each server ships with rack-mounting hardware. The sliding rails allow you to fully extend the system out of the rack for
service.
CAUTION: See the Rack Installation Instructions supplied with the rack mount kit for safety and installation instructions.
The racks you use for each server must meet these requirements:
The sliding rails support tool-free mounting in 19-inch, EIA-310-E compliant square-hole, 4-post racks, and also support
tooled mounting in threaded 4-post racks.
Each server is 2U. Ensure the rack has sufficient space for all systems.
For full power redundancy across all servers, you need a rack with two power distribution units (PDU) feeding separate
outlet strips, with sufficient vacant outlets on each strip.
Ensure the rack is installed and stabilized or bayed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Warning: When servicing a server in a rack, extend only one server at a time to prevent the rack from tipping.
Rack installation guidelines
There are guidelines to help you successfully install each server in a rack.
Follow all safety guidelines stated in the documentation that came with the rack, particularly when installing components
into the locations at the top of the rack.

Application
Provides easy access to the server com-
ponents in your computing environment.
If your server provides a 1 GbE network
interface for federation management,
these cables are required to connect the
1 GbE network interfaces on each server
to a 1 GbE switch. This is required only
if you are connecting the 1 GbE network
interfaces on each server to a switch,
such as in a direct connected or switch-
connected network configuration, for
example.
Connects the 10 GbE interfaces on one
server to a 10 GbE switch.
Connects devices to a network. The
number of switches depends on your
network configuration.
Provides temporary power to the server
in the event of a complete power outage.
