Installing the Rack Server
Mark the rack from the top and bottom edges of the rack template to identify where
the server fits and to provide a starting point for installing the next unit.
WARNING: Reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment by
ensuring that the rack leveling feet extend to the floor and support the full
weight of the rack. Each rack must be level and stable. Racks that are not
coupled require stabilizers. This must be done before you perform any work on
the rack.
Refer to the Rack Planning and Installation Guide on the Documentation CD
that accompanies the Compaq branded rack for more information on leveling
feet and stabilizers.
WARNING: Always mount the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack.
Continue to populate the rack from the bottom to the top.
IMPORTANT: Determine the server's place in the rack before you start installing the rack rail
assemblies. To remind you of the proper placement of the server in the rack, refer to the Rack
Builder report you printed when you planned your rack configuration with the Rack Builder
tools provided with your Compaq branded rack.
Use the rack template to identify the required space and location for your server.
Marking the Front of the Rack with the Rack Template
To mark the front of the rack with the rack template:
1. Identify the front side of the template.
2. Starting at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted
component, match the hole pattern on the template with the holes on the vertical
posts of the rack.
NOTE: Tick marks on the rack's vertical posts mark off U-spaces in the rack configuration
and help to maintain the proper alignment.
