Chapter 5. Installing a Server in a Rack Enclosure

This chapter provides instructions for installing a Netfinity 5000 server rack model in
a server rack enclosure.

If you have a rack model, your server comes with the necessary rack mounting
hardware. Review the preinstallation information in “Before You Begin” on
page 94; then, continue at “Installing the Rack Model in a Rack Enclosure” on
page 96.

If your Netfinity 5000 server is a tower model and you want to install it as a
rack model in a server rack enclosure, you must order the Netfinity Rack Mount
Kit. This kit contains the appropriate front, top, and bottom covers, in addition to
the brackets and the cable-management arm that you need to install the server
into the rack. Follow the instructions that are included in the Rack Mount Kit.
