Sun Fire 280R Server Product Notes 7
Instructions for Installing a Server Into a
Sun Rack 900
The 280R server rackmounting kit now includes M6 screws for use with the Sun
Rack 900 or any cabinet with mounting holes sized for metric dimensions. Table 1
describes the additional screws.
To install a server into Sun Rack 900, follow the instructions in the Sun Fire 280R
Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide. Where the instructions specify 10-32 screws,
use the M6 screws included in the rackmounting kit box. Use a Phillips No. 3
screwdriver with the M6 screws.
Before you install the server into the cabinet, replace the 10-32 captive screws on
the front trim panel with M6 x 20 cheese head screws.
