instructions are printed on the outside of the shipping carton.
Inspect all shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping carton is
damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton is opened.
Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspections.
Check that you’ve received all of the parts you ordered. Contact Sun Microsystems
or your distributor/reseller if you are missing anything.

en-8 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide • December 1999
Before You Begin
■Unpack the system and verify the contents. See Chapter 1 for instructions.
■Unpack the accessory box and place the slide assemblies, mounting brackets, and
hardware on a clear surface.
■Verify that you have the components and hardware shown in “Accessory Box
Contents” on page en-4.
■Read the rack enclosure requirements described in Appendix A of this guide.
■Read the Safety Precautions that follow.
Safety Precautions
For a complete description of the safety precautions to follow when installing a Sun
Enterprise 220R server, see the Sun Enterprise 220R Server Owner’s Guide.
Caution – Install the system as low as possible into the rack enclosure. For best
stability, do not install the system above equipment that weighs less than it does.
Caution – The system is heavy. In the following procedures, two people are
required to move the system. Two people are also required to align and install the
slide assemblies into the rack.

Chapter 2 Rack Installation en-9
Caution – For proper ventilation, each system in the rack enclosure requires 28
square inches (181 square cm) of unrestricted airflow into the front of the system,
and 23 square inches (148 square cm) of unrestricted exhaust port at the back of the
system. Maintain a minimum 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) clearance between the system and
any front or back doors. See Appendix A for more information.
Prepare the Rack Enclosure
1. Open and remove (if applicable) the front and back doors of the rack enclosure.
See the instructions provided with your rack enclosure.
2. Stabilize the rack enclosure by extending its anti-tip legs or bolting the rack
securely to the floor.
See the instructions provided with your rack enclosure.
3. Remove the side panels from the rack enclosure, if applicable.
See the instructions provided with your rack enclosure. Removing the side panels
can improve access to the nuts and screws that are installed when securing the
system in the rack enclosure.

Attach the Mounting Brackets to Each
Slide Assembly
Attach a short and a long mounting bracket to the outside of each slide assembly.
Repeat these steps for each slide assembly.
1. Attach a short mounting bracket to the front of each slide assembly.
a. Extend the slide assembly to expose the holes for the front mounting bracket.
Release the coil spring catch on the inner rail to extend the slide assembly.

b. Position a short bracket over the front end of the slide assembly.
The lip of the bracket should face the front of the slide assembly, as shown.
c. Secure the short bracket to the slide assembly. Use two 8-32 panhead screws
with a flat washer, a lock washer, and a nut for each screw.

2. Attach a long mounting bracket to the rear end of each slide assembly.
a. Position the long bracket over the rear end of the slide assembly.
Align the elongated slots at the end of the long bracket over the holes on the slide
assembly, as shown.
b. Secure the long bracket loosely to the slide assembly. Use two 8-32 panhead
screws, flat washers, lock washers, and nuts for each long bracket.
Do not tighten the screws completely. You may need to adjust the mounting
bracket when you install the slide assembly into the rack enclosure.
3. Push in the inner rail and runner on each slide assembly.
a. Push the inner rail all the way into the slide assembly. If necessary, release the
coil spring catch.
b. Push in the runner until it stops.

Install the Slide Assemblies Into the
Rack Enclosure
1. Locate and mark the correct positions on the rack’s vertical mounting rails to
install the slide assemblies.
Allow four rack unit spaces (7.0 inches/17.78 cm) or 12 holes per server.
Because the holes on a standard rack enclosure are arranged in sets of 3 holes
spaced 5/8ths, 5/8ths, 4/8ths of an inch apart, determining which holes to use
for attaching a slide assembly depends on exactly where you locate the system.
You can either count the holes so that each slide assembly is installed at the same
height front-to-back and side-to-side in the rack, or use the Rack Buddy included
with your system documentation. Mark the location on the rack enclosure with a felt
tip marker or masking tape.
Install the slide assemblies into the lowest available position. If this is the first
system you are installing into the rack, use holes 3 and 4 or 5. Install additional
servers from the base up.
To use the Rack Buddy, complete these steps:
a. Place the Rack Buddy over the left front vertical rack rail. See the next figure.
b. Move the bottom of the Rack Buddy to the exact location on the rack rail where
the bottom of the system will be located.
c. Adjust the Rack Buddy so that the bottom server screw mounting location is
centered on the space in the Rack Buddy.

en-14 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide • December 1999
d. Looking through the three holes on the Rack Buddy, locate the two rack rail
holes that are most visible through the Rack Buddy and mark them.
Use these two rack rail holes to attach the slide assembly to the rack rail. You will
only use two of the three holes to attach the slide assembly. The assembly bracket
has three holes to allow for the differences in spacing between the rack rail holes.
Mark the corresponding holes on the right front vertical rack rail.

2. Attach one slide assembly to the right rack mounting rail, and the other slide
assembly to the left rack mounting rail. See the next figure.
a. With the help of an assistant, position the slide assembly on the inside of the
rack enclosure with the short mounting bracket facing the front of the rack.
Count the holes so that each slide assembly is installed at the same height
front-to-back and side-to-side in the rack or use the Rack Buddy as described
in Step 1.
b. Attach the front short mounting bracket of one slide assembly to the front rail
on the rack.
Secure the slide bracket assembly to the front mounting rail using two
Phillips 10-32 panhead screws. Use the holes marked in Step 1. Finger-tighten
the screws. Do not tighten the screws completely until all the screws are in
place and the slide assemblies are level.
c. Attach the long mounting bracket of the same slide assembly to the back rail of
the rack.
Secure the slide bracket assembly to the back mounting rail using two Phillips
10-32 panhead screws. Finger-tighten the screws. Do not tighten the screws
completely until all the screws are in place and the slide assemblies are level.

en-16 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide • December 1999
Note – You may need to slide the rear mounting bracket forward or backward on
the slide assembly to accommodate the depth of the rack.
3. Completely tighten all of the rackmounting screws.
a. Make sure that the slide assemblies are level front-to-back and left-to-right.
b. Tighten the eight 10-32 screws that secure the short and long mounting brackets
to the vertical rack rails.
c. Tighten the four 8-32 screws that secure the long mounting brackets to the slide
assemblies.
