ELITE II SERVER CABINET

2. Introduction

2.1 Overview

Mount a variety of multi-vendor servers in the same rack with the Elite II Server Cabinet. It includes three pairs

of adjustable M6 rails that can accept “server-specific” side mounting adapters for HP®, Compaq®, and Sun®.

The cabinet can hold up to 1800 lb. (816.5 kg) on casters. Its door swings out 180°, lifts off, and is reversible.

The cabinet has generous cable access. Cables can enter the enclosure through three locations: an opening in

the bottom rear, an opening next to the rear opening, or the standard center opening. A cable loop lance at

the bottom rear opening allows you to secure your incoming cable.

The rear corner posts’ sides have three 2.5" x 6" (6.4 x 15.2 cm) knockouts. The enclosure’s top back has two

2.5" x 6" (6.4 x 15.2 cm) knockouts. The cabinet also has retractable anti-tip legs.

To network cabinet frames, remove the side panels, then the knockouts on the side, then the two plastic plugs

on the frame to expose the two holes in the frame. Simply bolt the cabinet frames together through these holes

with ordinary 1⁄4-20 hardware (not supplied).

The cabinet features split side panels, which are lighter for easier handling. Center side posts provide increased

strength between side panels.

Optional accessories include cable management, sliding adjustable or fixed shelves, sliding server shelf,

pivoting keyboard tray, top fan panels, and adapter brackets for Compaq, HP, or Sun.

2.2 Features

• Includes three pairs of adjustable M6 rails.

• Maximum rail spacing (front to rear) of 36" (91.4 cm).

• Rails accept multi-vendor “server-specific” side mounting adapters.

• Front and rear doors and top panel have mesh panel inserts for ventilation.

• Convenient 3⁄4" anchoring holes allow easy access for bolting the cabinet to the floor.

• Power strip is included.

3. Installation

3.1 Elite II Server Cabinet (RM4100A or RM4200A)

The Elite II Server Cabinet arrives fully assembled. (See the illustration on the previous page.)

3.2 EIA Rail Adjustment

To adjust the rail location:

1. Loosen one of the 1⁄4-20 bolts approximately 1⁄2turn with a 7⁄16" wrench as shown in Figure 3-1. Don’t remove

the bolt. Loosen the other bolt.

2. Slide the rail to the desired position. Use the reference marks (see Figure 3-1) for convenience.

3. Re-tighten the bolts.

NOTE

If your equipment requires an EIA rail spacing of 291⁄4" and the rails are in the original

factory position, move the front rail forward 3". This will position the front rails

approximately 31⁄2" from the front of the enclosure and 291⁄4" from the rear rails.

Figure 3-1. EIA rail adjustment.

If 291⁄4" rail spacing is required, adjust the

front rails forward to this position (face of

rail to be even with this mark)

This reference mark is approximately

11⁄2" from the front of the enclosure
