Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the 7043L-8R into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 7043L-8R
into a rack unit. If the 7043L-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 as-
sembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for install-
ing the 7043L-8R into a rack with the rack rails provided in the rackmount
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 7043L-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 7043L-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.
