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 satisfies 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.

Space Requirements

Air to cool the Xserve flows from front to back. Make sure nothing blocks any of the

openings in the front and back panels and case of the Xserve. When installed, the

Xserve slides in and out of the rack from the front. Make sure you have at least

36 inches clear in front of the Xserve so you can remove it.
