Four-Post Rack Installation

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 and regulatory information,

see the

Product Information

Guide

that shipped with your system. Warranty information might be

included in this document or as a separate document.

SAFETY: Rack Mounting of Systems

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

documentation accompanying the system and the rack for specific caution statements and

procedures.

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 front and side stabilizers on stand-alone 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.

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 may result in serious injury.

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

cabinet using the customer rack kit. 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 ensure that the final combination of

system and rack complies with all applicable safety standards and local electric code requirements. Dell

disclaims all liability and warranties in connection with such combinations.

• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a 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.

CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the rack, a minimum of two

people should accomplish this task.

• 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 Four-Post Rack Installation

• 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.

• 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 component when servicing other components in a rack.

General 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 the system manufacturer's rack cabinets

without tools, 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.

This section includes procedures for the following four-post rack kits:

• Sliding rails rack kit

• Static rails rack kit (RapidRails and VersaRails versions)

(See "Two-Post Rack Installation" on page 27 for instructions on installing a static rails kit in a two-post

rack.)

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 their casters. They do not have brakes. 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.

NOTE: For instructions on installing the system itself, see ""Installing the System in the Rack" on page 18.

Four-Post Rack Installation 7

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 precaution becomes increasingly important when systems are

installed high up 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 to yourself and to

others.

Rack Requirements for VersaRails

NOTICE: The VersaRails 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.

Rack Stabilizer Feet

CAUTION: Before installing systems in a rack, install front and side stabilizers on stand-alone 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.

The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over. See the documentation provided with the rack

cabinet for instructions on installing and anchoring the stabilizer feet.

Recommended Tools and Supplies

You may need the following items to install the system in a four-post rack cabinet:

• #2 Phillips screwdriver

• Masking tape or a felt-tip pen, for use in marking the mounting holes to be used

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack cabinet.

CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never attempt to remove or install them

by yourself.

CAUTION: Store the two doors where they will not injure someone if the doors accidently fall over.

Marking the Rack

For a 1-U system, you must allow 1 U (44 mm, or 1.75 inches) of vertical space for each system you install

in the rack.

Rack cabinets that meet EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit 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 back vertical rails (see Figure 1-3). Rack cabinets may

have round or square holes.

NOTE: The vertical rails may be marked by horizontal lines and numbers in 1-U increments. If you want, you can

make a note of the number marking on the rack’s vertical rail. It is not necessary to mark or place tape on the rack.

Four-Post Rack Installation 11

Figure 1-3. One Rack Unit

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one system, install the mounting rails 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 (or tape) on the rack's front vertical rails where you want to locate the bottom

of the system you are installing in the rack.

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).

2

Place a mark 44 mm (1.75 inches) above the original mark you made (or count up three 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).

Four-Post Rack Installation 13

Configuring the Sliding Rail Assemblies (Sliding Rail Kits Only)

The sliding rail assembly has a rotating mounting bracket at each end of the rail. The position of the

bracket determines whether the rail assembly is used as a RapidRail or a VersaRail. The RapidRail side of

the bracket has a hook and a latch that secure it to the vertical rail. The VersaRail side of the bracket has

three holes and uses screws to attach it to the vertical rail.

NOTE: The rack kit ships with the sliding rail assemblies in the RapidRails configuration.

To rotate the mounting bracket and change the mounting rails from RapidRails to VersaRails

(see

Figure 1-5

):

1

Lift the release lever on the rotating mounting bracket.

2

Rotate the bracket and slide it up off the two shoulder standoffs.

3

Continue to rotate the bracket 180 degrees until you can set the notches back over the shoulder

standoffs.

4

Rotate the bracket back in the opposite direction on the shoulder standoffs until the bracket clicks

into place.

the lower square hole (see Figure 1-7).

3

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

the upper square hole, and then push down on the flange until the mounting hook seats and the push

button extends through the lower square hole.

4

Repeat step 1 through step 3 for the mounting rail on the other side of the rack.

5

Confirm that the mounting rails are mounted at the same vertical position on both sides of the rack.

Installing the VersaRails Mounting Rails

1

At the front of the rack cabinet, position one of the mounting rails so that its mounting-bracket flange

fits between the marks you placed (or numbered locations) on the vertical rails in "Marking the Rack"

(see Figure 1-8).

The three holes on the front of the mounting-bracket flange should align with the holes between the

marks you made on the front vertical rail.

2

Install two 10-32 x 0.5-inch flange-head Phillips screws in the upper and lower holes in the mounting-

bracket flange to secure the mounting rail to the front vertical rail.

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 two 10-32 x 0.5-inch flange-head Phillips screws in the upper and lower holes in the mounting-

bracket flange to secure the mounting rail to the back vertical rail.

5

Repeat step 1 through step 4 for the mounting rail on the other side of the rack.

Installing the System in the Rack

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one system, install the first system in the lowest available position

in the rack.

CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the system, never attempt to install the system in the mounting rails

by yourself.

Installing a System With Sliding Rails

1

Pull the two inner slide rails out of the rack until they lock in the fully extended position

(see Figure 1-9).

2

Lift the system into position above the extended slides.

The three shoulder screws on each side of the system fit into the corresponding J-slots on the inner

slide assemblies (see Figure 1-9).

3

Lower the back of the system while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides of the system with

the back J-slots on the slide assemblies.

4

Engage the back shoulder screws into their respective J-slots.

5

Lower the front of the system and fit the middle and front shoulder screws into the J-slots in the slide

assemblies.

The system release latch at the front of the inner slide rail will snap back as the shoulder screw passes

into the front slot. Use this system release latch when you wish to remove the system from the slide

assemblies.

6

Press the slide-release latch on the outside of each inner slide, then push the system into the rack.

7

Install the cable-management arm. See "Installing the Tray and Cable-Management Arm
