Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
Installing the Chassis into a Telco Rack
To install the chassis into a Telco or post-style rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either
side of the chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow 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 telco rack. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and
tightening the brackets to the rack.
