Installing the Server Into a Rack With
Optional Slide-Rails
Perform the procedures in this section, in the order they are listed, to install your
server into a four-post rack using the orderable slide-rail option. This set of slide-
rails has been designed to work with both the Sun Fire™ X4100/X4100 M2 and Sun
Fire X4200/X4200 M2 servers. These slide-rails are compatible with a wide range of
equipment racks that meet the following standards:
■
Four-post structure (mounting at both front and rear). Two-post racks are not
compatible.
■
Rack horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA 310-D-
1992 or IEC 60927 standards.
■
Distance between front and rear mounting planes between 610 mm and 915 mm
(24 inches to 36 inches).
■
Clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rack mounting plane at
least 25.4 mm (1 inch).
■
Clearance depth (to rear cabinet door) behind front rack mounting plane at least
800 mm (31.5 inches), or 700 mm (27.5 inches), without cable management arm.
■
Clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front
and rear mounting planes at least 456 mm (18 inches).
Note –
Although the Sun Fire X4100/X4100 M2 server is pictured in the
illustrations, these procedures also apply to the Sun Fire X4200/X4200 M2 server.
Caution –
Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not
become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack
from tipping during equipment installation.
