Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to ensure your own personal safety

and to help protect your system and working environment from potential

damage. For complete safety information, see the Product Information Guide.

SAFETY: Rack Mounting of Systems

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety.

Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, “component”

refers to any system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install the front and side

stabilizers on stand-alone (single) racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined

to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems

in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury

under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) 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 cause injury.

NOTE: Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component

for use in a rack cabinet using the customer rack kit when both the rack cabinet

and rack kit were designed for your system. The installation of your system and rack

kit in any other 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 cabinet

evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency. The manufacturer disclaims

all warranties and liability in connection with such combinations.

• System rack kits are intended to be installed in an approved rack by

trained service technicians. If you install the kit in any other rack,

be sure that the rack meets the specifications.

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

to the rack, extended 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.

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

in the rack first.

6 Dell™ Rack Installation Guide

• 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 power 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 an open-frame relay rack or in a rack

cabinet. The RapidRails™ rack kit can be installed without tools in

manufacturer’s rack cabinets that have square holes; the VersaRails™ rack

kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets that have square

or round holes. The procedures for installing both RapidRails and VersaRails

rack kits are similar. One rack kit is required for each system installed in the

rack.

CAUTION: Do not 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.

The RapidRails rack kit can be installed in most industry-standard rack

cabinets.

NOTICE: The RapidRails 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.

Dell™ Rack Installation Guide 7

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read “Safety

Instructions”, found earlier in this guide, as well as the safety instructions

found in your Product Information Guide 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.

CAUTION: Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on the casters.

Use extreme caution while moving the rack cabinet. Retract the leveling feet

when relocating the rack cabinet. Avoid long or steep inclines or ramps where

loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend the leveling feet for support and to

prevent the cabinet from rolling.

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 to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems

are installed high up in the rack.

Rack Stabilizer Feet

CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install the front and side

stabilizers on stand-alone (single) racks or the front stabilizer on racks joined

to other racks. Failure to install stabilizers accordingly before installing systems

in a rack could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury

under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer(s) before

installing components in the rack.

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

out of the rack on its slide assemblies 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 with the slide assemblies

fully extended. See the documentation provided with the rack cabinet

for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet.

Marking the Rack

You must allow 4 U (7 inches) of vertical space for each system you install

in the rack (see Figure 1-3).

NOTE: Your rack may already be marked and not require this procedure.

Figure 1-3. One Rack Unit

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one system, install the slide assemblies

so that the first system is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.

To mark the rack, perform the following steps:

1

Place a mark on the rack’s front vertical rails where you want to locate

the bottom of the system you are installing in the rack cabinet.

The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal

area between holes (marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets—

see Figure 1-4).

1 U (44 mm or 1.75 inches)

12.7 mm (0.5 inch)

15.9 mm (0.625 inch)

12.7 mm (0.5 inch)

12 Dell™ Rack Installation Guide

2

Place a mark approximately 7 inches above the original mark you made

(or count up 12 holes in a rack that meets EIA-310 standards) and mark

the rack’s front vertical rails with a felt-tipped pen or masking tape (if you

counted holes, place a mark just above the top hole). This mark or piece of

tape indicates where the system’s upper edge will be located on the vertical

rails (see Figure 1-4).

Installing the RapidRails Slide Assemblies

1

At the front of the rack cabinet, position one of the RapidRails slide

assemblies so that its mounting-bracket flange fits in the appropriate

location on the rack (see Figure 1-5).

The top mounting hook on the rail assembly’s front-mounting bracket

flange should enter the top hole between the marks on the vertical rails.

2

Push the slide assembly forward until the top mounting hook enters the

square hole just below the upper marks or tape you placed on the vertical

rail. Next, push down on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting

hooks seat in the square holes and the push button pops out and clicks

(see Figure 1-5).

3

At the back of the cabinet, pull back on the mounting-bracket flange

until the mounting hooks are in the appropriate holes, and then push

down on the flange until the mounting hooks seat in the square holes

and the push button pops out and clicks.

4

Repeat steps 1 through 3 for the slide assembly on the other side

of the rack.

NOTE: Ensure that the rails are mounted at the same vertical position

on both sides of the rack.

Installing the VersaRails Slide Assemblies

1

At the front of the rack cabinet, place a VersaRails slide assembly so that

its mounting-bracket flange fits between the marks or tape (or numbered

location) on the rack (see Figure 1-6).

The holes on the front of the mounting bracket should align with the holes

between the marks on the front vertical rail.

2

Install a 10-32 x 0.5-inch flange-head Phillips screws in the mounting

flange’s top hole and the bottom hole (see Figure 1-6).

3

At the back of the cabinet, pull back on the mounting-bracket flange until

the mounting holes align with their respective holes on the back vertical

rail.

4

Install 10-32 x 0.5-inch flange-head Phillips screws in the second and third

holes (middle holes) of the back mounting flange to secure the slide

assembly to the back vertical rail.

NOTE: The top and bottom flange holes will be used later for installing the

cable-management arm retainer.

5

Repeat steps 1 through 4 for the slide assembly on the other side of the

rack.

NOTE: Ensure that the rails are mounted at the same vertical position on both

sides of the rack.
