Figure 2-4. Installing the Chassis into a Rack
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side
of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the
front of the rack. Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between
front and back. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it. Then attach the two
front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned
with just enough space to accommodate the width of the rack. Finish by sliding the
chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.
