Installing a Sun Fire V440
Server Into a 4-Post Cabinet
This chapter shows you how to install a Sun Fire V440 server into a 4-post Sun™
StorEdge Expansion Cabinet or other Electronic Industries Association
(EIA)-compliant 19-inch (48.26-cm) wide rack. If you are installing a Sun Fire V440
server into a 2-post rack, refer to the 2-post rackmounting instructions that are
included on the Documentation CD in the Ship kit.
Note – To install a server into an EIA-compliant 19-inch wide rack with mounting
holes sized for U.S. dimension screws, use 10-32 screws and 8-32 screws to attach the
slide assemblies to the rack. The rackmounting kit includes 8-32 and 10-32 screws
and washers.
To install a server into an EIA-compliant 19-inch wide rack with mounting holes
sized for metric dimension screws, use M4 or M6 screws—depending on your rack
model—to attach the slide assemblies to the rack. The rackmounting kit includes M4
and M6 screws and washers.
The service label on the top cover of the server illustrates the rackmounting steps in
a convenient graphical overview. However, the instructions in this guide are more
detailed.
