9Chapter 1 Installing the Xserve

Choosing a Suitable Location

The Xserve is designed for rack mounting. Review the following paragraphs to be

sure the location you choose satises the Xserve space, electrical, and environmental

requirements.

Rack Compatibility

You can install the Xserve in any open or closed (cabinet-style) 19-inch-wide four-post

rack from 24 to 36 inches deep using the rails included with the Xserve. The Xserve

occupies 1.75 inches (1U) of vertical rack space.

Important: Your rack should satisfy the 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.

Rack Stability

Make sure the rack is stable and strong enough to support installed equipment.

When working with equipment in the rack, never slide out more than one unit at a

time, and keep all other equipment secured in the rack.

WARNING: Don’t put a display or other device on top of the Xserve. The extra weight

can damage components inside the Xserve, strain the rack rails, and make the rack

unstable. Devices not secured in the rack can fall on you.
