Installation Instructions - Dell PowerEdge 1750 Hardware Installation Manual

• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a
component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.
• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking
position, and then slide the component into the rack.
• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The
total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.
• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.
• Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a
rack.

Installation Instructions

This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or
more systems in a rack cabinet or in an open-frame relay rack. The RapidRails™ rack kit can
be installed in all the system manufacturer's rack cabinets without tools, and the
VersaRails™ rack kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets. The
procedures for installing both RapidRails and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is
required for each system to be installed in the rack cabinet.
This guide includes procedures for the following rack kits:
• RapidRails kit in a four-post rack cabinet
• VersaRails kit in a four-post rack cabinet
• Two-post kit (installed in either center-mount or flush-mount configuration)
For ease in troubleshooting and the identification of system health, some rack kits include a
status-indicator cable assembly that extends the information from the two-color status
indicators on the front and back panels to the back of the cable-management arm. For more
information on these indicators, see the User's Guide.
Before attempting this installation, you should read through this entire document carefully.
CAUTION: Do not install rack kit components designed for another system. Use
only the rack kit for your system. Using the rack kit for another system may
result in damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to others.
