Product Notes.
Tools and Sta Required
Caution – The server weighs about 180 pounds (100 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 14
. This reduces the weight of the server to
80 pounds (45 kg).
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.
No. 2 10-inch Phillips screwdriver
(magnetic tip recommended)
Mechanical lift Strongly recommended. If not available, reduce the weight of the server.

These are not slide rails. Once the server is mounted in the
chassis, it does not move.
3, 4 Front mounting brackets (2 pair) These attach to the rack and support the shelf rails.
There are two types of front mounting brackets; one for
round-hole racks (3), and another for square-hole racks (4).

How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight
This procedure describes how to remove components from your server so that two persons can
lift it into the rack. If you are going to use a mechanical lift, you do not need to perform this
procedure.
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, refer to
“Antistatic Precautions and Procedures” in Sun Fire X4800 Server Service
Manual
.
Note – This procedure assumes that the server is powered o and all cables are disconnected.
Remove the CPU modules from the front of the chassis.
The chassis contains four CPU module slots; each must have a CPU module or a ller panel.
BeforeYou Begin

Sun Fire X4800 Server Rack Mounting and Shipping Bracket User's Guide • June 201014
Note – Because of their light weight, there is no need to remove ller panels.
Caution – To prevent system failure, you must return CPU module slots to their original
locations. Mark CPU module slot locations carefully before removing them from the chassis.
For each CPU module:
a. Pinch the green tabs to release the ejectors (1).
b. Pull both ejectors out torelease the module (2).
Caution – When the module is partway out of the chassis, close the ejectors, and grasp the
module. Do not handle the module by the ejectors.
c. Gently slide the module forward until it is clear of the chassis (3).

How to Insert the ServerInto the Rack
The following procedure explains how to insert the server into the rack and on to the shelf rail
assemblies on the rack.
Perform the steps in
“How to Install the Rack Mounting Hardware in the Rack” on page 18.
Lift the server to its position on the rack.
The use of a lift is recommended.
Caution – The server weighs 180 pounds (82 kg). 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 instructed in
“How to Remove Components to Reduce

Use the four long screws (M6 or 10–32) (1) to fasten the shipping bracket (2) tothe front of the
server.
Insert the short screwsinto the four empty storage holes on the shipping bracket.
They will be stored there to be used when you remove the shipping bracket.
If you areinstalling the shipping brackets in a rack with square holes, check to ensure that the
cage nuts are installed in the rear.
Note the orientation and location of the cage nuts for the shipping bracket.
■
There are four cage nuts per side (eight total).
■
They are installed on the inside of the rack, facing outward. This is the opposite direction
from the cage nuts for the shelf mounting brackets.
■
For each shelf bracket cage nut, there should be two shipping bracket cage nuts; one in the
hole directly above the shelf bracket cage nut, and one in the third hole above the shelf
bracket cage nut.
If the cage nuts are not in place, you must:
a. Remove the server and the mounting hardware from the rack, as described in
