Installing into a Telco Rack

007-5717-002
A rack can be either open or enclosed in a cabinet. Follow the same instructions to attach the server
to either type of rack. For a cabinet, it helps to remove the door before installing the server. The
server does not require conventional rack or server rails to be installed. The server is designed to
slide easily between the mounting rails of the rack. Once the exact position of the server is
determined on the rack, installation of the server is as follows:
1. Position the server so that the two "ears" on the side of the server are positioned equally and
level in the rack.
2. Install four screws through the mounting ears and into the rails of the rack.
Typical screw sizes are 10–32 and 12–24. Check the accessory kit for spare screws.
If your rack does not have threaded holes, you will be required to provide threaded inserts to
snap into the rails.
Installing the server into a Telco rack is exactly the same procedure as just described. The only
difference in the installation procedure will be the positioning of the server mounting ears to the
rack. The ears should be moved to the middle of the server to accommodate installation into a
Telco rack.
