Installing the SuperServer 7042P-8R into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 7042P-8R
into a rack unit. If the 7042P-8R has already been mounted into a rack or
if you are using it as a tower, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-
6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for
installing the 7042P-8R into a rack with the rack rails provided in the rack
mount kit. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came
with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails:
The 7042P-8R rackmount kit (CSE-PT26 or CSE-PT26B - black) includes two
rack rail assemblies. Each of these assemblies consist of three sections:
an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 7042P-8R (A), an outer fixed
rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B) and a sliding rail guide
sandwiched between the two, which should remain attached to the fixed
rack rail (see Figure 2-1.) The A and B rails must be detached from each
other to install. Two chassis handles are also included with the rail kit.
To remove the fixed chassis rail (A), pull it out as far as possible - you
should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail
assembly and locks the inner rail. Depress the locking tab to pull the
inner rail completely out. Do this for both assemblies.
