Chapter 6 Rack Installation
6-5 Rack Mounting with the Optional Rail System
Rail System Overview
This section provides information on installing the SC842 chassis into a four-post
rack unit with the optional quick-release rails. 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 installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails
The optional rail package includes two 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.
