Rack Installation Guide 1-1

CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help

protect your system and working environment f

rom potential damage. For complete safety

information, see the System Information Guide.

Rack Mounting of Systems

Observe the following precautions for rack stability and safety.

Systems are considered to be components in a rack. Thus, "component" refers to any

system as well as to various peripherals or supporting hardware.

CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizers

installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury

under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizers before

installing components in the rack.

After installing system/components in a rack, never pull more than one

component out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of

more than one extended component could cause the rack to tip over and may

result in serious injury.

NOTE: Your system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a component for

use in a Dell™ rack cabinet using the customer rack kit. The installation of your

system and rack kit in any other rack cabinet has not been approved by any safety

agencies. It is your responsibility to ensure that the final combination of system and

rack complies with all applicable safety standards and local electric code

requirements. Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in connection with such

combinations.

• System rack kits are intended to be installed in a rack by trained service technicians. If

you install the kit in any other rack, be sure that the rack meets the specifications of a

Dell rack.

CAUTION: Do not move racks by yourself. Due to the height and weight of the

rack, a minimum of two people should accomplish this task.

• Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to the rack,

extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on the floor. Install

front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front stabilizers for joined multiple racks

before working on the rack.

• Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the rack first.

• Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a component from the

rack.

1-2 Rack Installation Guide

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 RapidRails™ rack kit can

be installed in all the manufacturer’s rack cabinets without tools, and the VersaRails™ rack

kit can be installed in many industry-standard rack cabinets. The procedures for installing

both RapidRails and VersaRails rack kits are similar. One rack kit is required for each system

to be installed in the rack cabinet.

This guide includes procedures for the following rack kits:

• RapidRails kit in a four-post rack cabinet

• VersaRails kit in a four-post rack cabinet

• Two-post kit (installed in either center-mount or flush-mount configuration, for 3- or

6-inch-wide racks)

For ease in troubleshooting and the identification of system health, these rack kits include a

status-indicator cable that extends the information on the two-color status indicators on

the front and back panels to the back of the cable-management arm. For more information

on these indicators, see your system User’s Guide.

Before attempting this installation, you should read through this entire document carefully.

CAUTION: Do not install rack kit components designed for another system. Use

only the rack kit for your system. Using the rack kit for another system may

result in damage to the system and personal injury to yourself and to others.

• Use caution when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding a

component into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

• After a component is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a locking

position, and then slide the component into the rack.

• Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the rack. The

total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit rating.

• Ensure that proper airflow is provided to components in the rack.

• Do not step on or stand on any component when servicing other components in a

rack.

CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

Rack Installation Guide 1-3

Rack Requirements for VersaRails

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.

Four-Post Rack Installation

Before attempting this installation, you should read through this entire procedure carefully.

Before You Begin

Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "CAUTION: Safety

Instructions," found earlier in this guide, as well as the safety instructions found in your

system’s 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.

Important Safety Information

Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in

the rack.

CAUTION: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect

yourself as well as others who may be involved. Your system may be very large

and heavy, and proper preparation and planning are important to prevent injury

to yourself and to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are

installed high up in the rack.

Rack Stabilizer Feet

CAUTION: Installing systems in a rack without the front and side stabilizer feet

installed could cause the rack to tip over, potentially resulting in bodily injury

under certain circumstances. Therefore, always install the stabilizer feet before

installing components in the rack.

1-4 Rack Installation Guide

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

CAUTION: After installing systems in a rack, never pull more than one system

out of the rack on its slide assemblies at one time. The weight of more than one

extended system could cause the rack to tip over and cause injury.

The stabilizer feet help prevent the rack from tipping over when a system or other

component is pulled out of the rack with the slide assemblies fully extended. Refer to the

documentation provided with the rack cabinet for instructions on installing and anchoring

the stabilizer feet.

Recommended Tools and Supplies

You may need the following tools and supplies to install the system in a four-post rack:

• A #2 Phillips screwdriver (for installing VersaRails slide assemblies)

• Masking tape or a felt-tip pen, for use in marking the mounting holes to be used

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack

cabinet.

CAUTION: Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never

attempt to remove or install them by yourself.

CAUTION: Store the two doors where they will not injure someone if the doors

accidently fall over.

Marking the Rack

You must allow 2 U (88 mm, or 3.5 inches) of vertical space for each system you install in

the rack. Rack cabinets that meet EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three

holes per rack unit with center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U

space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm (0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the

front and back vertical rails (see Figure 1-3). Rack cabinets may have round or square holes.

NOTE: The vertical rails may be marked by horizontal lines and numbers in 1-U

increments. If you wish, you can make a note of the number marking on the rack’s

vertical rail. It is not necessary to mark or place tape on the rack. If you choose this

method, skip ahead to the procedure "Installing the RapidRails Slide Assemblies."

Rack Installation Guide 1-7

Figure 1-3. One Rack Unit

CAUTION: If you are installing more than one system, install the slide assemblies

so that the first system is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.

To mark the rack, perform the following steps:

1 Place a mark on the rack’s front vertical rails where you want to locate the bottom of

the system you are installing in the rack cabinet.

The bottom of each 1-U space is at the middle of the narrowest metal area between

holes (marked with a horizontal line on some rack cabinets—see Figure 1-4).

2 Place a mark 88 mm (3.5 inches) above the original mark you made (or count up six

holes in a rack that meets EIA-310 standards) and mark the rack’s front vertical rails

with a felt-tipped pen or masking tape (if you counted holes, place a mark just above

the top hole). This mark or piece of tape indicates where the system’s upper edge will

be located on the vertical rails (see Figure 1-4).
