One rack kit is required for each system to be installed in the rack. 
Two-Post Center-Mount Rack Kit 
Installation
This procedure provides instructions for installing a Dell system in a two-post open-
frame relay rack, such as those found in telecommunications equipment facilities. 
Both 3-inch and 6-inch wide two-post racks are accommodated.
The two-post open-frame relay rack must be properly secured to the floor, to the 
ceiling or upper wall, and where applicable, to adjacent racks, using floor and wall 
fasteners and bracing specified or approved by the rack manufacturer or by industry 
standards. See the two-post open-frame relay rack manufacturer’s installation docu-
mentation for precautionary warnings and information before attempting this 
installation.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to install the system into a two-post open-frame 
relay rack that has not been securely anchored in place. Damage to the 
system and personal injury may result.
See “Safety Instructions” at the front of this document for additional safety informa-
tion regarding rack installation.
