Rack Installation Instructions
Review the documentation that comes with the rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. Before
you install the server in a rack cabinet, review the following guidelines:
v Two or more people are required to install devices 2U or larger in a rack cabinet.
v See the server Installation and Service Guide for the maximum room air temperature.
v Install the server only in a rack cabinet that has perforated doors.
v Do not block any air vents, usually 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides proper airflow.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Do not leave open space above or below an installed server in your rack cabinet. To help prevent
damage to server components, always install a filler panel to cover the open space and to help ensure
proper air circulation.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
v Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
v Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
v Install the server in a rack that meets the following requirements:
– Minimum depth of 70 mm (2.76 in.) between the front mounting flange and inside of the front door.
– Minimum depth of 190 mm (7.48 in.) between the rear mounting flange and inside of the rear door.
– Minimum depth of 718 mm (28.27 in.) and maximum depth of 762 mm (30 in.) between the front
and rear mounting flanges to support the use of the cable management arm.
Note: The maximum distance between the front and the rear EIA flange of the rack is 810 mm (31.9
in.).
