Installing the System into a Rack

(Rack hardware optional)
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 5015B-MR into a
rack unit. If the system has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead
to Sections 2-5 and 2-6.

Basic Installation Procedure

The 5015B-MR server comes with two rack mounting brackets, which are located on
each side at the front of the chassis. To mount the system into a rack, simply screw
these brackets directly to the front of the rack (two screws for each bracket).

Installing with Rackmount Kit

This section is only for customers that have the optional rack mount kit (CSE-PT8).
Each of these assemblies consist of two sections: an inner rail that secures to the
chassis and an outer rail that secures directly to the rack itself (see Figure 2-1).
This is a guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the optional rack kit. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you
are using. Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly.

Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
