Four-post brackets

Two rivets on each bracket secure it to the brace and the server’s cover.

Four-post braces

These two long U-shaped pieces support the back of the server and attach it to the rack.

Two-post brackets

These two short L-shaped brackets attach to the sides of the server’s enclosure and to
the rack.

Short-rack brackets

These two brackets attach the back of the server to a short rack, 24 or 26 inches deep.

Mounting template

This straight template helps you install the server’s cover so that it is mounted at a right
angle to each front post of the rack.

Screws and clips for attaching brackets and braces to the rack and server cover

Two sets of screws are provided; one set (English) has a diameter of 10/32 inches; the
other is metric size M5. Short screws are provided for mounting the system in a two-post
rack or a short four-post rack. Some clips are also included for use with racks that do not
have prethreaded holes. See “Getting Ready to Install” on page 24 for more about the
mounting hardware.
