Chapter 2: Server Installation 2-4 Installing the SuperServer 6040 into a Rack This section provides information on installing the SuperServer 6040 into a rack unit. If the 6040 has already been mounted into a rack, you can skip ahead to Sections 2-5 and 2-6. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. The following is a guideline for installing the 6040 into a rack with the rack rails provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using. Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails: You should have received two rack rail assemblies with the SuperServer 6040.
Each of these assemblies consist of three sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures to the 6040 (A), an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself (B), and a sliding rail guide (C) between the two, which should remain attached to the fixed rack rail. (See Figure 2-1, which shows the chassis rail 'A' already attached to the chassis). The first thing you must do is to remove the fixed chassis rail (A) from each assembly. To do this, pull this inner rail out as far as possible - you should hear a "click" sound as a locking tab emerges from inside the rail assembly and locks the inner rail. Depress the locking tab to pull the inner rail completely out.
