Installing the Chassis

Step 1

Align one of the two center-mount brackets on the left or right side of the chassis and be sure that the angled portion is

facing the front of the chassis (see the following figure).

Be sure to align four of the screw holes on the larger side of the bracket with the four screw holes near the center of the

left or right side of the chassis.

Center-mount bracket with its larger side facing the

chassis and the longer side facing the front (port side)

of the chassis. Align four screw holes in the bracket

to four screw holes in the side of the chassis.

Step 2

Use four M4 x 8 mm screws to attach the bracket to the chassis. Tighten each screw to 11 to 15 in-lb (1.2 to 1.7 N·m).

Step 3

Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to attach the second center-mount bracket to the other side of the chassis.

What to do next

You are ready to mount the chassis to the two-post rack.

Installing the Chassis in a Two-Post Rack

You need to position the chassis near the top of the rack with the power supply and fan modules in the

appropriate aisle for their required airflow. If the fan modules have a blue coloring for port-side exhaust

airflow, then you must position the modules by the cold aisle. If the fan modules have a burgundy coloring

for port-side intake airflow, you must position the modules by the hot aisle.

Note

Power supply modules must have the same airflow direction as the fan modules.

Power supply modules must have the same airflow direction as the fan modules but might have different

coloring if they use DC power (green coloring for port-side intake airflow or gray coloring for port-side

exhaust airflow).
