The brackets and screws necessary to attach the system to a four-post rack with threaded

holes are included with your system. If your rack has square, unthreaded holes, you may

need to insert cage nuts (some are provided with the system) into the appropriate holes

before attaching the system to the rack.

Getting Ready to Install the System

Before working with the system, mounting hardware, and rack, make the following

preparations.

m Arrange to work with another person as you prepare the system and install it in a rack.

m Assemble the tools, brackets, and fasteners you’ll need for the installation. (All except the

screwdriver and pliers or wrench are provided with the system.) You will need

m a medium-sized Phillips screwdriver. If you have a power screwdriver, use it.

m a pair of pliers or a small wrench

m the large L-shaped brackets and (depending on the depth of your rack) one or two

bracket extenders

m the hardware supplied with the system to assemble the extenders and secure the

system to the rack. See “Assemble the Brackets and Extenders” on page 27 for details.

Some racks have

pre-threaded holes.

Other racks use various

types of removable

cage nuts to secure

equipment.

Important Any rack used for Xserve RAID should meet the speciﬁcations of the American

National Standards Institute (ANSI)/Electronic Industries Alliance (EIA) standard ANSI/EIA-

310-D-92, International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 297, and Deutsche Industrie

Norm (DIN) 41494. See the documentation for the rack to determine whether it is

compatible with these standards.

Important Check the rack’s documentation for any special requirements.
