Rack Mounting; Requirements - Dell C7008 Installing

Rack Mounting

When you prepare your equipment rack:
• Make sure that the rack is bolted to the floor and braced to a wall or ceiling.
• Make sure that the rack is permanently grounded to earth ground. The equipment rack must be grounded
to the same ground point used by the service in your area.
• The AC cord is the primary ground.
When you install the chassis, use a level to ensure the chassis is installed level.

Requirements

There are two types of power supplies: Power Supply 1200W-AC and Power Supply 1600W-AC. The
minimum and the redundant power supplies required to operate is listed in the table below. Dell
recommends the redundancy configuration. Depending on the power consumed by the components
present in the system, the minimum number of required PSUs is either 1 or 2.
NOTE: For information on the power requirements of various system components, see
