Installation Instructions - Dell PowerEdge 2650 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 an open-frame relay rack or in a rack cabinet. The RapidRails™ rack kit can
be installed in all the manufacturer's rack cabinets without tools, and the VersaRails™ rack
kit can be installed in many 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 3- or
6-inch-wide racks)
For ease in troubleshooting and the identification of system health, these rack kits include a
status-indicator cable that extends the information on 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 your system 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.
