Chapter 6 Rack Installation
6-4 Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the SC815 chassis into a rack unit
with the rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may
mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the instal
-
lation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
NOTE:
This rail will fit a rack between 26" and 33.5" deep.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit.
Each assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures
directly to the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to
the rack itself.

The Inner Rail Extension (Optional)
The inner rails are pre-attached and do not interfere with normal use of the chassis
if you decide not to use a server rack. Attach the inner rail extension to stabilize
the chassis within the rack. If you are not using a rack, you do not have to install
the inner rail extensions.
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Place the inner rack extensions on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks
of the chassis with the rail extension holes. Make sure the extension faces
"outward" just like the pre-attached inner rail.
2. Slide the extension toward the front of the chassis.
3. Secure the chassis with two screws as illustrated. Repeat steps for the other
inner rail extension.

Locking Tabs
Both chassis rails have a locking tab. The tabs lock the server into place when
installed and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the server in place
when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely
out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

Warning: do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.
