Chapter 5
Rack Installation
This chapter provides instructions for preparing and mounting your chassis in a rack.
5-1 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box the chassis was shipped in and note if it was damaged
in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, file a damage claim with the carrier
who delivered it.
5-2 Preparing for Setup
Decide on a suitable location for the rack unit that will hold your chassis. It should
be a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where heat, electrical
noise and electromagnetic fields are generated. A nearby grounded power outlet.
is required
The box your chassis was shipped in should include two sets of rail assemblies, two
rail mounting brackets and the mounting screws to mount the system into the rack.
Please read this chapter in its entirety before beginning the installation procedure.
Choosing a Setup Location
•
Leave at least 25 inches clearance in front of the rack to open the front door
completely.
•
Leave approximately 30 inches of clearance in the back of the rack to allow for
sufficient airflow and access for servicing.
•
It should be a restricted access location, such as a dedicated equipment room
or a service closet.
