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.
