2-4 Installing the System into a Rack

This section provides information on installing the Acnodes RMC7135 into a rack unit. If the system has
already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sec- tions 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of
rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a
guideline for installing the unit into a rack with the rack rails provided with the system. You should also
refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails

You may have received rack rail hardware with the SuperServer 5016T-MTFB. (Two front inner rails
should already be attached to the chassis.) This hardware consists of two rear inner rails that secure to
the chassis, one on each side just behind the preinstalled front inner rails. Note that these two rails are
left/right specific.

Installing the Rear Inner Rails
First, locate the right rear inner rail (the rail that will be used on the right side of the chassis when you
face the front of the chassis). Align the two square holes on the rail against the hooks on the right side of
the chassis. Securely attach the rail to the chassis with M4 flat head screws. Repeat these steps to
install the left rear inner rail to the left side of the chassis (see Figure 2-1). You will also need to attach
the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the
server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly,
these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from
coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
