How to Rackmount the

Sun Enterprise 250 Server

This guide shows you how to install a Sun Enterprise™ 250 server into a Sun™

Enterprise Expansion Cabinet, or other EIA-compliant rack enclosure.

To rackmount a server, you need to:

■Prepare the rack enclosure—page 1-7

■Prepare the server chassis—page 1-7

■Install the slide assemblies in the rack enclosure—page 1-18

■Install the server into the rack enclosure—page 1-25

Before You Begin

■Read the rack enclosure requirements—page 1-3

■Verify the rackmounting kit contents—page 1-5

■Locate a Phillips #2 screwdriver and a flat-blade screwdriver.

■Read the Cautions that follow.

Cautions

Caution – Install the chassis as low as possible in the rack enclosure. For best

stability, do not install the chassis above equipment that weighs less than it does.

1-2 Sun Enterprise 250 Server Rackmounting Guide • February 1999

Caution – The chassis is heavy. In the following procedures, two people are

required to move the chassis. Two people are also required to align and install the

slide assemblies in the rack.

Caution – For proper ventilation, each Sun Enterprise 250 server in the rack

enclosure requires 28 square inches (175 square cm) of unrestricted airflow into the

front of the system, and 23 square inches (143 square cm) of unrestricted exhaust

port at the rear of the system. Maintain a minimum 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) clearance

between the system and any front or rear doors.

How to Rackmount the Sun Enterprise 250 Server 1-3

Rack Enclosure Requirements

The Sun Enterprise 250 server is designed so that you can install it into a

Sun 56-inch (143-cm) tall Enterprise Expansion cabinet or other suitable

industry-standard rack enclosure that meets the requirements listed in the

table below. You need a Sun rackmounting kit for each server that you will

rackmount.

Rack Enclosure Feature Requirement

Load Bearing Capacity The rack must firmly support the weight of an Sun Enterprise 250

server (118 lbs, 53 kg), plus the weight of the rackmounting

hardware, plus the weight of any other installed devices.

Vertical Space Requirements Each Sun Enterprise 250 server requires six rack units (10.5

inches, 26.7 cm) of vertical space for rack installation. A 56-

inch (143-cm) cabinet can accommodate up to four Sun

Enterprise 250 servers; a 68-inch (173-cm) and a 72-inch (183-

cm) cabinet can hold up to five servers.

Vertical Mounting Rail

Requirements The rack must have two pairs of vertical mounting rails (one pair

in front, one in back) that conform to the EIA (RETMA) standard

for mounting hole spacing.

Left-side-to-right-side rail spacing (mounting hole center to

mounting hole center) for front and rear rails must be 18.3 inches

(46.5 cm).

Front-to-rear rail spacing must be at least 26.875 inches (68.26 cm)

and not more than 34.875 inches (88.5 cm) from the outside face of

the front rail to the outside face of the rear rail.

Front and rear vertical rail mounting faces must be parallel with

each other and with the front plane of the rack.

The Sun Enterprise 250 server will extend 2.3 inches (5.84 cm)

forward of the front vertical mounting rails, and the enclosure

extends 28.25 inches (71.76 cm) from the front face to the rear-

most point.

Doors If you are using a Sun Enterprise Expansion Cabinet, remove the

front door; otherwise, see the instructions provided with the rack

enclosure.

1-4 Sun Enterprise 250 Server Rackmounting Guide • February 1999

EMI Requirements Electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding requirements are met

by the system chassis and metal side panels, which remain in place

when the unit is rackmounted.

Anti-Tip Protection The rack must be bolted securely to the floor or equipped with a

sturdy and extendable anti-tip leg. You must prevent the cabinet

from tipping forward when one or more Sun Enterprise 250 servers

and other devices are fully extended out the front of the rack.

Minimum Service Access An area not less than 3 feet (1 meter) deep and 6 feet (2

meters) wide must be available in front of the rack for

installation and service access.

When fully extended on its mounting rail slides, the system will

protrude 29.75 inches (75.6 cm) forward of the rack’s front vertical

mounting rails.

Fire Containment The rack enclosure must meet Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. and

TUV Rheinland of N.A. requirements for fire containment.
