Chapter 2 Installing the K2 ASI Media Client

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.
