Rack Installation Instructions
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. When
installing your server in a rack cabinet, consider the following:
v Ensure the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
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 The slide rails in this kit come preset to the correct length for installation in an IBM rack cabinet and
they are adjustable for other rack cabinets.
v The slide rails are marked (RIGHT/FRONT and LEFT/FRONT) for proper placement on the
rack-cabinet flanges.

you are shipping the server in a rack, you will need a Philips screwdriver. The following illustration
