Rack Mounting

Rack Kit

Rack installation components such as rails and ears are provided with the PowerEdge 4600 Rack Kit. This option may be factory-installed at the time of system purchase, or ordered at a later date as a customer-installed field upgrade. No shelf is required with the rails attached, which allow the system to slide easily in and out of a Dell rack.

Racking Instructions

The following procedure outlines the process for rack mounting the PowerEdge 4600.

Rack mounting the PowerEdge 4600


	Step 1: At the front of the rack cabinet, position one of the slide assemblies so that its mounting-bracket flange fits between the marks or tape you placed on the rack.





	Step 2: Align the slide-assembly mounting-bracket flange (on the front of the slide assembly) with the square holes in the front vertical rails.




	Step 3: Push the slide assembly forward until the mounting hooks are located in their respective square holes on the vertical rail, and then push down on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting hooks seat in the square holes and the push button pops out and clicks.




	Step 4: At the back of the cabinet, pull back on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting hooks are located in their respective square holes.




	Step 5: Push down on the mounting-bracket flange until the mounting hooks seat in the square holes and the push-button pops out and clicks.




	Step 6: Repeat steps 1 through 5 for the remaining slide assembly on the other side of the rack. Ensure that the rails are mounted at the same position on the vertical rails on each side of the rack.




	Step 7: Pull the front slide assemblies out from the rack until they are fully extended.




	Step 8: Using at least two people and the handles on each side of the chassis, lift the system into position. Tilt the front of the system upward while aligning the back shoulder screws on the sides of the system with the back slots on the slide assemblies.



	Engage the back shoulder screws in the slot just behind the back (green) latch first, followed by the middle shoulder screw in the slot near the middle (yellow) latch, and then the front shoulder screw in the front slot.




	Step 9: Push the system inward on the slide assemblies until the middle (yellow) latch clicks into place, locking the system in the slide assemblies.




	Step 10: Press up on the green latches.




	Step 11: Push the system into the rack and tighten the thumbscrews on the rack front panel.
