• Do not overload the power supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The total
rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

• Do not step on or stand on any system/component when servicing other systems/components
in a rack.
Installation Instructions
This installation guide provides instructions for trained service technicians installing one or more
systems in an open-frame relay rack or in a rack cabinet. The Dell™ RapidRails™ rack kit can be
installed in all the manufacturer’s rack cabinets without tools, and the VersaRails™ rack kit can be
installed in most industry-standard rack cabinets. The procedures for installing both RapidRails
and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is required for each system installed in the rack.
CAUTION:
Do not install rack kit components designed for another system. Use only the rack kit for
your Dell system. Using the rack kit for another system may result in damage to the system and personal
injury.
NOTE:
If your Dell system is a tower version, you must install a tower-to-rack kit. Instructions for
installing this kit are included in this document.
The RapidRails rack kit can be installed in any Dell rack cabinet and in most industry-standard rack
cabinets.
NOTICE:
The VersaRails rack kit is intended to be installed by trained service technicians in a rack that
meets the specifications of American National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries
Association (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and
Deutsche Industrie Norm (DIN) 41494. One rack kit is required for each system that is installed in a rack.
Before You Begin
Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "Safety Instructions," found
earlier in this guide, as well as the safety instructions found in your
System Information document
for additional information.
CAUTION:
When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the procedures for the current
system before attempting to install the next system.
CAUTION:
Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on the casters. The cabinet has no
brakes. Use extreme caution while moving the rack cabinet. Retract the leveling feet when relocating
the rack cabinet. Avoid long or steep inclines or ramps where loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend
the leveling feet for support and to prevent the cabinet from rolling.
