Installing the Server Into a Rack
With Optional Slide Rails
Perform the procedures in this chapter to install your server into a four-post rack
using the orderable slide rail and cable management arm options. These slide rails
are compatible with a wide range of equipment racks that meet the following
standards:
■ Four-post structure (mounting at both front and rear). Two-post racks are not
compatible.
■ Rack horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA 310-D-
1992 or IEC 60927 standards.
■ Distance between front and rear mounting planes of 610 mm and 915 mm (24
inches to 36 inches).
■ Clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rack mounting plane at
least 25.4 mm (1 inch).
■ Clearance depth (to rear cabinet door) behind front rack mounting plane at least
800 mm (31.5 inches) with the cable management arm, or 700 mm (27.5 inches)
without the cable management arm.
■ Clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front
and rear mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches).
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not
become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack
from tipping during equipment installation.
Caution – Ensure that the temperature in the rack does not exceed the server’s
maximum ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all
equipment installed in the rack, to ensure that the equipment is operated within its
specified temperature range.
