Rackmount Guidelines.
•A maximum of six systems per each power
controller unit in a rackmount cabinet.
Unpack Rackmount Box
The rackmount box is one of three long boxes found
in the system’s shipping carton (see Figure 1). It
contains these instructions, two rails, U-clips and
screws, and two rackmount ears for securing the
system in the rack.

PK1038-99
Determine Base Zero
Decide the relative position of the system in the rack.
Base zero is where the bottom of the system will be
when installed in the rack.
If your system is the first system in the rack, then
base zero is between the 6th and 7th hole up from the
floor of the rackmount cabinet. This distance allows
the system to clear the power controllers and provide
space for cable management.
If you are adding your system to a rack already
populated, then base zero is the top of the system
underneath the system to be installed. This system
needs a clearance of 9 holes to accommodate the
system height.
Mark and Prepare the Rails
•Using the template on the back of this card (
•Figure 9) mark holes 2 and 5 on an interior rail,
and base zero (see Figure 2).

•Mark all four of the inner rails (see Figure 3).
•If you are installing more than one
AlphaServer DS10 in the rack at the same
time: using the template, mark the top of the first
system you are installing. Use this as base zero
for the second system, move the template up,
mark holes 2 and 5, and the top of this system,
until you have marked holes for all of systems
you are installing.
•Insert a U-clip at each hole you have marked.

Install the Rails
There are two threaded guide pins on the rails: one on
the front of each rail, and one on each rear side. In
case the holes in your rackmount cabinet require
smaller guide pins, a second set of smaller pins has
been included in the kit. Replace the pins if
necessary.
•Insert the front guide pin, aligning the screw hole
to the front C-clip. See Figure 4, ➊. Push the
rail in.
•Insert the rear guide pin into the side rail,
aligning the screw holes to the rear U-clips.
Push the rail in toward the side of the rackmount
cabinet (see ➋).
•Secure with four screws. See ➌.

Attach the Rackmount Ears
•Align the three vertical holes located on the front
edge of the system with the three holes on the
rackmount ears (see Figure 5).
•Using a Phillips screwdriver, screw the ears onto
the system, finger tight. Do not apply excessive
force.

PK1035-99
Insert and Secure the System
•Using both hands, place the system onto the rails
and push it back into the cabinet (see Figure 6).
•Align the holes in the bulkhead with the prongs
on the rails (see Figure 7).
•Push the system back in to the rack.
•Secure the system by tightening the captive
screws on the rackmount ears on the front of the
system.

Caution: During removal, system box not tethered.
Attention: Pendant le déplacement, le boîtier système n'est pas fixé.
Precaución: Durante el traslado, no debe atarse la caja del sistema.
Achtung: Beim Entfernen ist das Systemgehäuse nicht gesichert.

Check Power and Secure Cables
•Select the correct power setting (see Figure 8).
•Connect the power cord.
•Turn the power cord latch clockwise to secure
the power cord.
•Tighten the latch with a screwdriver.
•Route the power cord over the back of the rail,
into the rackmount cabinet side area.
•Continue cabling (see AlphaServer DS10 Quick
Setup poster). When all cabling is complete,
connect power cord to the power controller unit.

After securing the power cord with the safety latch,
route the power cords over the rails and into the side
of the cabinet.
