Chapter 2: Server Installation
2-4 Installing the Server into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6113L-8/6113L-i
into a rack unit with the rack rails provided. If the 6113L-8/6113L-i has already
been mounted into a rack, 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 proce-
dure will differ slightly. You should also refer to the installation instructions that
came with the rack unit you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer 6113L-
8/6113L-i. Each of these assemblies consists of two sections: an inner fixed
chassis rail that secures to the 6113L-8/6113L-i and an outer fixed rack rail
that secures directly to the rack itself. A pair of short brackets to be used
on the front side of the outer rails are also included.
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack.
Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket
to the rear side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets
to the proper distance so that the rail can fit snugly into the rack. Secure the
short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two M4 screws and the long
bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these
steps for the left outer rail.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
The first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in
place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming
completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
