Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
T o inst all the Acnodes RMC7185 into a T elco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the
chassis (four total). First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger
chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your
server , remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the telco rack. Finish by sliding the
chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
