Chapter 2 Installing the Server
Installing the Server In a Rack
Rack Requirements
This section provides the requirements for the standard open racks, assuming an external ambient air
temperature range of 32
°F to 95° F (0°C to 35° C).
The rack must be of the following type:
• A standard 19-in. (48.3-cm) wide, four-post EIA rack, with mounting posts that conform to English
universal hole spacing, per section 1 of ANSI/EIA-310-D-1992.
• The rack post holes can be square or round when you use the supplied slide rails.
• The minimum vertical rack space per server must be four RUs, equal to 7 in. (17.8 cm).
Tip The Cisco R-Series racks and RP-Series PDUs have been designed for optimum performance with Cisco
products and are available from Cisco.
Equipment Requirements
The slide rails supplied by Cisco Systems do not require any tools for installation, but you might want
to use a tape measure and level to help level the slide rails during installation.

This section describes how to install the server in a rack.
Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component
at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.
Statement 1006
Step 1 Install the slide rail assemblies in the rack. See Figure 2-2.
a. Place the slide-rail assembly (item 3) against the inside of the front and rear rack posts (item 1), with
the slide rail facing the inside of the rack and the front mounting pegs in front of the front rack-post
holes (item 4).
b. Expand the slide rail assembly toward the rear of the rack, until the rear mounting pegs seat in the
rear rack-post holes (item 2).
c. Compress the slide-rail assembly until the mounting pegs are fully seated and the locking clips at
both ends of the assembly lock.
