Appendix B: SGI 1400 Server Rackmount Installation
Install the Server in the Rack
Warning: ANCHOR THE EQUIPMENT RACK: The equipment rack must be anchored to
an unmovable support to prevent it from falling over when one or more servers are
extended in front of it on slide assemblies. The anchors must be able to withstand a
force of up to 113 kg (250 lbs). You must also consider the weight of any other device
installed in the rack.
Use the following steps to install the server in the rack:
1. Pull the telescoping center bars out of the large outer bars until they are fully
extended and locked in place.
2. Use a mechanical assist unit to carefully pick up the server; gently slide the small
bars attached to each side of the server into the extended center bars.
3. When the server stops, press in on the safety latches on the small bars and gently
slide the server into the rack.
4. Connect all external cables and the power cord(s) to the server.
