Rack Requirements for VersaRails
NOTICE: The VersaRails rack kit is intended to be installed by trained service technicians in a
rack that meets the specifications of 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. One rack kit is required for
each system that is installed in a rack.
Four-Post Rack Installation
Before attempting this installation, you should read through this entire procedure carefully.
Before You Begin
Before you begin installing your system in the rack, carefully read "Safety Instructions" as
well as the safety instructions found in your system’s System Information document for
additional information.
CAUTION: When installing multiple systems in a rack, complete all of the
procedures for the current system before attempting to install the next system.
CAUTION: Rack cabinets can be extremely heavy and move easily on their
casters. They have no brakes. Use extreme caution while moving the rack
cabinet. Retract the leveling feet when relocating the rack cabinet. Avoid long
or steep inclines or ramps where loss of cabinet control may occur. Extend the
leveling feet for support and to prevent the cabinet from rolling.
NOTE: For instructions on installing the system itself, see "Installing the System in the Rack."
Important Safety Information
Observe the safety precautions in the following subsections when installing your system in
the rack.
CAUTION: You must strictly follow the procedures in this document to protect
yourself as well as others who may be involved. Your system may be very large
and heavy and proper preparation and planning are important to prevent injury
to yourself and to others. This becomes increasingly important when systems are
installed high up in the rack.
Recommended Tools and Supplies
You may need the following tools and supplies to install the system in a four-post rack:
• #2 Phillips screwdriver
• Masking tape or a felt-tip pen, for use in marking the mounting holes to be used
