Chapter 6 Rack Installation
Outer Rack Rails
Outer rails attach to the server rack and hold the server in place. The outer rails for
the SC815 chassis extend between 30 inches and 33 inches.
Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
1.
Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. You must align the
pins with the slides. Also, both bracket ends must face the same direction.
2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail
fits snugly into the rack.
3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M5 screws
and the short bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M5 screws.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the left outer rail.

Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1.
Confirm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions. Also, confirm
that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
2. Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
3. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides (It may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When
the server has been pushed completely into the rack, the locking tabs will
"click" into the locked position.
4. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the
server to the rack.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks from
the bottom up.
