Two-Post Flush-Mount Rack Kit Installation
This procedure provides instructions for installing a Dell system in a two-post open-
frame relay rack, such as those found in telecommunications equipment facilities.
Both 3-inch and 6-inch wide 2-post racks are accommodated.
The two-post open-frame relay rack must be properly secured to the floor, to the
ceiling 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 system into a two-post open-frame
relay rack that has not been securely anchored in place. Damage to the
system and personal injury may result.
See “Safety Instructions” found earlier in this guide for additional safety information
regarding rack installation.
