Hardware Installation
Rack Mounting
The K2 ASI platform is based on a DELL Power-Edge 2850:
• Unit width: 482.6mm
• Unit depth: 756.8mm
• Unit height: 86.6mm
• Weight:
• of the server alone (in its most loaded configuration): 27kg
• of the rack mounting accessories: 5kg
NOTE: Use of a minimum 800mm depth rack is required.
When installing the K2 ASI client in a rack, product ventilation is a prime concern:
• Air taken in at the front
• Air ejected through the rear
The K2 ASI is shipped with two rails and an articulated arm (for cables). For rack
mounting instructions, refer to the Dell
TM
Systems - Rack Installation Guide included
in the accessory pack.
