Chapter 2 Installing the Sun Fire X4150 Server Into a Rack with Slide-Rails 11
Checking Compatibility
Check that your rack is compatible with the slide-rail and cable management arm
(CMA) options. The optional slide-rails are compatible with a wide range of
equipment racks that meet the following standards:
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not
become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tip bar to prevent the rack
from tipping during equipment installation.
Caution – Ensure that the temperature in the rack does not exceed the server’s
maximum ambient rated temperatures. Consider the total airflow requirements of all
equipment installed in the rack to ensure that the equipment is operated within its
specified temperature range.
