Install the rail kit and SE350 E1 Enclosure (1U2N)​

About this task

See the following table to identify the components that come with the rail kit.

1 Document3 Right rail
2 Left rail4 Two M6 screws
The cabinet supports up to four units of rail kit and SE350 E1 Enclosure and corresponding rail kit. For optimal use of space, it is advised to determine the location to install the rail kits based on the number of units that are installed.

  • One unit: 3U

  • Two units: 3U and 4U

  • Three units: 3U, 4U, and 5U

  • Four units: 3U, 4U, 5U, and 6U

Note
When installed vertically into this cabinet, the server can be installed with server top facing either right or left. In this section, however, it is illustrated with the top of server facing right as an example.

Procedure

Install the rail kit and SR670​

About this task

The cabinet supports up to two units of SR670 and corresponding rail kit. For optimal use of space, it is advised to determine the location to install the rail kits based on the number of units that are installed.

  • One unit: 1-3U

  • Two units: 1-3U and 4-6U

Note
  • The left and right mounting glides are part of the fire enclosure. Therefore, ensure the glides are installed before attempting to mount the server in vertical orientation.
  • Two people are required for this task.
  • When installing SR670 in the rack cabinet, do not mix it with SE350 or SR250 in the same cabinet.
See the following table to identify the components that come with the mounting kit.


1 Two C-channels4 Four black M3.5 x 5 mm flat head screws with pre-applied threadlocking adhesive
2 One left mounting glide5 Ten black M5 x 20 mm combination head screws
3 One right mounting glide 
  1. Remove the two screws that secure the lower portion of SR670 rack mounting brackets on both sides, and dispose the screws.
    Figure 19. Removing screws from the rack mounting brackets

    Note
    Do not fully remove the rack mounting brackets as they are required to secure the server into the vertical rack.
  2. Secure the mounting glides to the server.
    Figure 20. Securing the mounting glides

    • ① Align the key hole slots in the glides to the T-head pins on both sides of the server, and slide the mounting glides forward until the pins are secured in the slots.
    • ② Align the two holes on the mounting glide to the threaded standoffs on the front end of the server.
    • ③ Secure each mounting glide with two of the M3.5 x 5 mm screws with pre-applied adhesive that come with the vertical mounting kit.
  3. Install one C-channel in the lower portion of the rack cabinet.
    Figure 21. Installing the lower C-channel

    • ① Align the C-channel between the lower rack EIA flanges.
    • ② Secure the front end of the C-channel to the front EIA flange with one M5 x 20 mm screw through the left most hole in the channel.
    • ③ Secure the rear end of the C-channel to the rear EIA flange with two M5 x 20 mm screws through the right and left most holes in the bracket.
    Attention
    Do NOT over-tighten the screws as the rack EIA flange could be deformed.
  4. Install the other C-channel in the upper portion of the rack cabinet.
    Figure 22. Installing the upper C-channel

    • ① Have one person hold and align the C-channel between the upper rack EIA flanges.
    • ② Secure the front end of the C-channel to the front EIA flange with one M5 x 20 mm screw through the left most hole in the channel.
    • ③ Secure the rear end of the C-channel to the rear EIA flange with two M5 x 20 mm screws through the right and left most holes in the bracket.
    Do NOT over-tighten the screws as the rack EIA flange could be deformed.
  5. Rotate the server 90 degree clockwise so that the right side is facing down.
