This section provides information on installing the system into a rack unit Rack installation requires the use of the optional rackmount kit If the system has already been mounted into a rack or if you are using it as a tower you can skip ahead to Sections 2 5 and 2 6 There are a variety of rack units on the market which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly The following is a guideline for installing the server into a rack with the rack rails provided in the rackmount kit You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails The optional rackmount kit includes two rack rail assemblies Each of these as semblies consist of three sections an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the chassis an outer rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself and two rail brackets which also attack to the rack see Figure 2 1 The inner and outer rails must be detached from each other to install To remove the inner chassis rail pull it out as far as possible you should hear a click sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail Depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out Do this for both assemblies one for each side Figure 2 1 Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails Outer rail Inner rail Rail brackets 2 4 Chapter 2 Server Installation Ins
