Upgrading and Installing Server Components 45
Installing the Rail Rack and Racking the System (Optional
Accessory)
The rail kit that comes with your system allows you to install it into a four-post, network server
cabinet (e.g. APC Netshelter). If the cabinet is not of this general type, you will have to purchase a
separate rail kit that is specific to your cabinet.
Follow these steps to install the rail kit and place your system into the cabinet.
1. Assemble tools and miscellaneous parts.
You will need a Phillips screwdriver and
assorted lock washers and nuts.
2.
Remove the inside piece (C in Figure 24)
from both sides of the rail system. To
remove an inside piece of the rail system,
slide the part as far out as you can. This
action reveals a brass colored finger tab
(D in Figure 24) that when depressed
allows you to completely separate the
inside rail piece from the outer (A in
Figure 24) and middle (B in Figure 24)
rail pieces.
3. Align each inside rail (A in Figure 25) to
a side of the chassis. Be sure that the flat
end of the inside rail is toward the front
of the chassis and that the brass colored
finger tab (D in Figure 25) is facing
outward. With the holes in the chassis
(C in Figure 25) aligned with the holes in
the rail, fasten the rail using the largest
screws (B in Figure 25) supplied with the
rail kit.
