3.4 Mounting the SPARC M12-2S and the PCI Expansion Unit in a Rack
This section describes the procedures for mounting the SPARC M12-2S and the PCI expansion unit in a 19 inch rack.
The method of securing the rails differs depending on the rack type. As described in this section, the methods of securing them differ between the racks with supporting columns having square holes and the racks with supporting columns having M6 screw holes.
For rack details, see the manual for the rack used.
If the chassis has already been mounted in the rack, go to "3.5 Mounting Optional Components."
For the rack mounting procedures of the SPARC M12-2S and PCI expansion unit, see the following sections:
