Rack Installation

This chapter provides a quick setup to install the SCF418 chassis into a rack. Fol-
lowing these steps in the order given should enable you to have the system installed
within a minimal amount of time.
6-2 Unpacking the System
You should inspect the box which the chassis was shipped in and note if it was
damaged in any way. If the chassis itself shows damage, you should le a damage
claim with the carrier who delivered it.

be situated in a clean, dust-free area that is well ventilated. Avoid areas where
heat, electrical noise and electromagnetic elds are generated. The system needs
to be placed near a grounded power outlet. Be sure to read the Rack and Server
Precautions in the next section.

the mounting screws needed for installing the system into the rack. Also included

round mounting holes. Please read this section in its entirety before you begin the
installation procedure outlined in the sections that follow.
