Removing The Rack Doors; Marking The Rack - Dell PowerEdge 2900 Installationsanleitung

Removing the Rack Doors

See the procedures for removing doors in the documentation provided with your rack cabinet.
CAUTION:
Because of the size and weight of the rack cabinet doors, never attempt to remove or install them
by yourself.
CAUTION:
Store the two doors where they will not injure someone if the doors accidently fall over.

Marking the Rack

For a 5-U system, you must allow 5 U (8.75 inches) of vertical space for each system you install in the rack
(see Figure 1-2).
Rack cabinets that meet EIA-310 standards have an alternating pattern of three holes per rack unit with
center-to-center hole spacing (beginning at the top hole of a 1-U space) of 15.9 mm, 15.9 mm, and 12.7 mm
(0.625 inch, 0.625 inch, and 0.5 inch) for the front and back vertical rails (see Figure 1-2). Rack cabinets may
have round or square holes.
NOTE:
The vertical rails may be marked by horizontal lines and numbers in 1-U increments. If you want, you can
make a note of the number marking on the rack's vertical rail. It is not necessary to mark or place tape on the rack.
NOTE:
Your rack may already be marked and not require this procedure.

CAUTION:
If you are installing more than one system, install the sliding rail assemblies so that the first system
is installed in the lowest available position in the rack.
