Installing the Server in a Two-Post (Telco) Rack

The server attaches to a two-post rack at the center of the enclosure, so that the front
and back of the server extend beyond the rack.

Important:

Before installing the server in a two-post rack, make certain that the rack is

securely fastened to the floor. Also check the rack’s documentation for any specific
installation instructions.

Follow these steps to install the server in a two-post rack. (These instructions assume
that you have previously taken the cover off the server; see “Preparing the Server for
Installation” on page 28
for details.)
