1-2 Installing VersaRails

NOTES: Your Dell system is safety-certified as a free-standing unit and as a compo-

nent for use in a Dell rack cabinet using the Dell customer rack kit. The installation of

your system and rack kit in any non-Dell rack cabinet has not been approved by any

safety agencies. It is your responsibility to have the final combination of system and

rack kit in a non-Dell rack cabinet evaluated for suitability by a certified safety agency.

Dell disclaims all liability and warranties in connection with such combinations.

For instructions on installing the system itself, see your Rack Installation Guide.

support.dell.com Installing VersaRails 1-3

1. Determine where you want to install the system in the rack.

2. Position the VersaRail’s mounting flange against the inner side of the rack's front

vertical rail so that the bottom of the VersaRail is aligned with the 0.125-inch

spacing on the rack’s front vertical rail (see Figure 1-1 for 2U systems and Figure

1-2 for 4U and 7U systems).

NOTE: The vertical rails in your rack may have round or square holes.

Each unit on the vertical rail consists of one 0.125-inch spacing and two

0.250-inch spacings. The 0.125-inch spacing is the beginning of a unit.

—For 2U systems, the bottom mounting hole in the VersaRail aligns with the

second hole from the 0.125-inch spacing on the vertical rail.

—For 4U systems, the bottom mounting hole in the VersaRail aligns with the

third hole from the 0.125-inch spacing on the vertical rail.

—For 7U systems, the bottom mounting hole in the VersaRail aligns with the

fourth hole from the 0.125-inch spacing on the vertical rail.

3. Secure the front of the VersaRail to the rack using two Phillips-head screws (see

Figure 1-1 for 2U systems and Figure 1-2 for 4U and 7U systems).

NOTE: Ensure that you use the mounting holes, as shown in Figure 1-1 and

Figure 1-2, to secure the front of the VersaRails to the rack. The second and fourth

mounting holes from the bottom of the VersaRail are used to secure a 2U system to

the rack. The first and second mounting holes from the bottom of the VersaRail are

used to secure 4U and 7U systems to the rack.

4. Slide the back VersaRail’s mounting flange backward until the back mounting

flange fits snugly against the inner side of the back vertical rail.

5. With the VersaRail level, secure the back of the VersaRail to the rack using two

Phillips-head screws (see Figure 1-3).

6. Repeat steps 2 through 5 to install the second VersaRail.
