Two-Post Rack Installation

This document provides instructions for installing a Dell PowerEdge 2450 system in a

two-post open-frame relay rack, such as those found in telecommunications equip-

ment facilities.

The two-post open-frame relay rack must be properly secured to the floor, to the ceil-

ing or upper wall, and where applicable, to adjacent racks, using floor and wall

fasteners and bracing specified or approved by the rack manufacturer or by industry

standards. Refer to the two-post open-frame relay rack manufacturer’s installation

documentation for precautionary warnings and information before attempting this

installation.

CAUTION: Do not attempt to install the PowerEdge system into a two-post

open-frame relay rack that has not been securely anchored in place. Dam-

age to the system and personal injury may result.

Refer to the safety instructions in your Dell system documentation for additional

safety information regarding rack installation.

Rack Kit Components

The rack kit includes the following items (see Figure 1):

•One tray assembly (PowerEdge 2450 two-post)

Installing the Support Tray in the Rack

CAUTION: The 2-U support tray is designed to support a single

PowerEdge 2450 system. Do not attempt to install any other system in this

support tray. Damage to the system and personal injury may result.

1. Place the support tray into the rack with the bottom of the tray at the marks you

made earlier for the location of the bottom of the installed system.

2. Install four 12-24 x 0.5-inch screws provided to secure the support tray using the

top and the bottom holes on the support tray’s front-mounting flange (see

Figure 3).

An internally threaded stud projecting from the front of the tray flanges accepts

the captive fastener on the front of the PowerEdge server.
