Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety and to help protect

your server, storage system, or appliance from potential damage. For complete safety,

regulatory, and warranty information, refer to your Dell™ system’s System Information

document.

Precautions for Rack-Mountable Products

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety. Also refer to the rack

installation documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific warning

and/or caution statements and procedures.

Servers, storage systems, and appliances are considered to be components in a rack. Thus,

“component” refers to any server, storage system, or appliance, as well as to various

peripherals or supporting hardware.

CAUTION: Installing system components in a rack without the front and side

stabilizers installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in

bodily injury or death under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the

stabilizers before installing components in the rack.

CAUTION: After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than

one component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of

more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and injure

someone.

NOTE: Your Dell system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for use in

a Dell rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The installation of your system and rack kit

in any non-Dell rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety agencies. It is your

responsibility to have the final combination of system and rack kit in a non-Dell rack cabinet

evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in

connection with such combinations.

• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service

technicians. If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the

specifications of a Dell rack.

• Do not move large racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, it is

recommended that a minimum of two people perform this task.

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,

extend to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install front

and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks before

working on the rack.

1-2 Rack Installation Guide

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the

rack.

• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a component

into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking

position, and then slide the component into the rack.

• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack.

The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.

• Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other

systems/components in a rack.

Installation Instructions

This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or

more systems in a rack cabinet. The RapidRails™ rack kit can be installed in all Dell™ rack

cabinets, and the VersaRails™ rack kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack

cabinets. The procedures for installing both RapidRails and VersaRails rack kits are similar.

One rack kit is required for each system to be installed in the rack cabinet.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to install rack kit components designed for another

system. Use only the rack kit for your system. Using the rack kit for another

system may result in damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to

others.

NOTE: If your system is a tower version, you must first convert the system to a rack version

using a tower-to-rack conversion kit. Instructions for installing this kit are included in this

document.

RapidRails Rack Kit Contents

The RapidRails rack kit consists of one pair of RapidRails mounting rails (see Figure 1-1).

Rack Installation Guide 1-3

Figure 1-1. RapidRails Rack Kit Contents

Dell Rack Requirements

NOTICE: This rack kit is intended to be installed in a Dell rack by trained service technicians.

If you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of American

National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Association (EIA) standard

ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and Deutsche

Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each system that is installed in a rack.

VersaRails Rack Kit Contents

The VersaRails rack kit includes the following items (see Figure 1-2):

• One pair of VersaRails mounting rails

• Eight 10-32 x 0.5-inch Phillips screws

NOTE: The nonmetric screws described in illustrations and in procedural steps are identified by

Non-Dell Rack Requirements

NOTICE: This rack kit is intended to be installed by trained service technicians in a rack that

meets the specifications of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries

Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission

(IEC) 297, and Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each system

that is installed in a rack.

Before You Begin

Before you install your system in the rack, read the “Safety Instructions” in the front of this

document, as well as the safety instructions in your System Information booklet for

additional information.

CAUTION: When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the

procedures for the current system before attempting to install the next system.

Important Safety Information

Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in

the rack.

CAUTION: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect

yourself as well as others who may be involved. Your system may be very large

and heavy, and proper preparation and planning are important to prevent injury

to yourself and others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are

installed high up in the rack.

Rack Stabilizer Feet

CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizer feet

installed and anchored to the floor could cause the rack to tip over, potentially

resulting in bodily injury or death under certain circumstances. Therefore,

always install and anchor the stabilizer feet before installing components in the

rack.

CAUTION: After installing systems in a rack, never pull more than one system

out of the rack at one time. The weight of more than one extended system could

cause the rack to tip over and cause injury.

The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system or other

component is pulled out of the rack. See the documentation provided with the rack cabinet

for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet.

Rack Installation Guide 1-5

Recommended Tools and Supplies

The following items make the installation easier:

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver (if installing a VersaRails kit)

• Torx T-10 driver (if installing the tower-to-rack kit)

• 3/16-inch hex-head wrench (if installing the tower-to-rack kit)

Installation Tasks

Installing a rack kit involves the following tasks:

1 Removing the rack doors

2 Marking the rack

3 Installing the mounting rails in the rack

4 Installing the tower-to-rack conversion kit (if needed)

5 Installing the system in the rack

6 Replacing the rack doors

NOTE: The procedures that follow apply to both Dell rack cabinets and rack cabinets not

manufactured by Dell unless identified as specific to one or the other.

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your Dell 24-U

and 42-U rack cabinets. If you have a Dell PowerEdge™ 4210 rack cabinet, see the

procedures in the Dell PowerEdge 4210 Rack Installation Guide. If you have a rack cabinet

not manufactured by Dell, see the manufacturer’s documentation for removing doors.

CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never

attempt to remove or install them by yourself.

Marking the Rack

NOTE: If you are installing a VersaRails rack kit, skip to the procedure, “Installing the

VersaRails Mounting Rails.”

You must allow 3-U (5.25 inches) of vertical space for each system you install in the rack.

Dell rack cabinets and rack cabinets not manufactured by Dell that meet EIA-310 standards

have an alternating pattern of three holes per U with center-to-center hole spacing

(beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm (0.625-inch,

0.625-inch, and 0.5-inch) for the front and rear vertical rails (see Figure 1-3).
