Tools and Sta Required
Caution – The server weighs about 88 pounds (40 kg) when fully loaded with components. To
reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to install
the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as described in
“How to
Remove Components to Reduce Weight” on page 19
. This reduces the weight of the server to
35 pounds (16 kg).
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it does not become
top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during
equipment installation.
Before installing the server into a rack, gather the tools, equipment, and sta required.
Tools,Equipment, and Stang Required Notes
Two trained sta Two people are needed to install the server and operate the lift.
#2 10–inch Phillips screwdriver
(magnetic tip recommended)
Optional. Required if you are hardmounting the server.
Mechanical lift Strongly recommended. If not available, reduce the weight of the server.
See
“How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight” on page 19.
Compatible rack See
“Compatible Racks” on page 16.
Slide rails Optional. See
“Slide Rail Kit” on page 17.
Cable management arm Optional. See
“Installing the Cable Management Arm (CMA)” on
page 23
.
Compatible Racks
The slide rails are compatible with a wide range of equipment racks that meet the following
standards:
■
Four-post rack (mounting at both front and rear).
Note – Two-post racks are not compatible.
■
Rack should have horizontal opening and unit vertical pitch conforming to ANSI/EIA
310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 standards.
Toolsand Sta Required
Sun Fire X4600 and Sun FireX4600 M2 Servers InstallationGuide • January 2010, Rev. A16
■
Distance between front and rear mounting planes between approximately 26 to 34.5 inches
(660.4 mm and 876.3 mm).
■
Minimum clearance depth (to front cabinet door) in front of front rack mounting plane: 1
inch (25.4 mm).
■
Minimum clearance depth (to rear cabinet door) behind front rack mounting plane: 31.5
inches (800 mm) with cable management arm (recommended) or 27.5 inches (700 mm)
without the cable management arm.
■
Minimum clearance width (between structural supports and cable troughs) between front
and rear mounting planes: 18 inches (456 mm).
Note – The 4U Express Rail Rackmounting Kit (http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/820-4079/
820-4079.pdf)
card that is included with the slide rails and cable management assembly refers
to the rack as a retma (Radio Electronics Television Manufacturers Association) rack.
Slide Rail Kit
The slide rail kit that comes with your server is called the express slide rail or the tool-less slide
rail because it is simpler than older slide rails. It can be used with both square-hole and
round-hole racks. The cable management arm (CMA) might come in a separate box.

Figure Legend
1 Slide rail (2) Attaches to rack post. The slide rail has an outer
rail and a middle section. The middle section
has the ball bearings which slide forward and
backward. Each end of the slide rail has an
attachment assembly.
2 Mountingbracket (2) Attaches to server. The mounting bracket is
also called the inner section because it is
inserted into the middle section of the slide rail.
3 (Optional) Cable management arm (CMA) Included only with Express Slide Rail and CMA
combination kit.
4 Shipping/hardmount hardware
Note – Ifyou want to secure the server for
shipping now or in the future, use the shipping
hardware. It is not possible to install the
shipping hardware after the slide rails are
installed. It is better to install the shipping
hardware during the slide rail installation.
The slide rail kit comes with the following shipping hardware:

1 M6 screws (9) To secure server for shipping, install 8 screws, 2 per rack
post.
One extra screw is supplied.
2 Cage nuts Cage nuts are required for shipping server in square-hole
racks.

How to Remove Components to ReduceWeight
Caution – Circuit boards and hard drives contain electronic components that are extremely
sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static electricity from clothing or the work
environment can destroy the components located on these devices. Do not touch the
components without antistatic precautions, especially along the connector edges. For more
information, see Antistatic Procedures and Cautions in the
Sun Fire X4600 and Sun Fire X4600
M2 Servers Service Manual
If a lift is not available, remove the followingcomponents to reduce weight:
■
All four power supplies
■
All four fan trays
■
All modules in the CPU bay (CPU modules and ller modules)
This reduces the weight of the server to about 35 pounds (16 kg).

How to Install the Express Slide Rails Onto the Server and the Rack
Installing the slide rails and cable management arm for the rst time takes approximately 45 to
60 minutes.
Note – The express slide rail kit comes with the 4U Express Rail Rackmounting Kit
(http://dlc.sun.com/pdf/820-4079/820-4079.pdf)
card that contains illustrations that you
should refer to during this procedure. It can also be used to block out the 4 unit (4U) space to be
occupied by the server.
Attach the mounting bracketsto the server.
Cach mounting bracket has a at side, which ts against the server chassis. The other side has a
pair of rims that t into the slide rails. Each bracket has 6 key-shaped holes which t over the
pins on the side of the server.
Note – The last (rear-most) hole is not used.
a. Position a bracketso that the green lock leversare at the front of the server and theholes on
the bracket areover the pins on the server.
b. Hang the bracket on the pins.
The middle of the bracket will bow out slightly so that the middle hole does not engage.

c. Press down on the center of the bracket and slide forward.
All 5 pins should lock into place with an audible click.
d. Repeat the abovesteps with the other bracket.
Use the installationcard to determine the 4U space thatwill be occupied by the server.
The slide rails cover the holes on the 2U space on the bottom of the 4U space that is occupied by
the server.
The installation card is designed so that it exactly covers a 4U space in the rack. The lower half
of the card is narrower than the rest, so that the holes used by the slide rails are visible.
(Optional for securing the server and slide railsfor shipping) If you plan to ship the server and
slide rails in placeand you have a rack withsquare holes, place cage nuts in the holesat the top
and the bottom of the 2U slide rail space. It is not possibleto install the cage nuts after the slide
rail is installed.
Tip – Installthe cage nuts if you plan to ship the server in the future.
From behind the rack post, put the bottom tab of the cage nut into the hole and squeeze the top
tab into the hole.
Note – In normal installation, securing is not required. Securing provides extra stability in
special circumstances, such as shipping the server in place, that is, shipping the server mounted
in the rack and then shipping the rack.
Attach the slide railsto the rack.
Each slide rail has an attachment assembly at either end. Each assembly has two pins that t into
the rack holes (either round and square) and a spring that holds the rack rail against the
assembly. The front part of the rail is stamped with the word “FRONT.” The rear part of the rail
is stamped with the word “REAR.”
a. Orient the slide rail with the ball bearing track at the front ofthe rack.
b. Extend the slide rail tothe length of the rack.
c. Slide the front attachmentassembly over the rack’s posts, so that the pinst into the rack
holes. Push theassembly into the rack post until it clicks intoplace.
d. Insert the rear attachment assembly intothe holes of the rack post.
