en-12 Sun Enterprise 220R Server Setup and Rackmounting Guide • December 1999
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.
Rack Buddy
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.

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.
