Mark the Rackmount Location

Identify the location in the rack where you want to place the server. Exadata Server X11M requires two rack units (2U). Use the Rackmounting Template to identify the correct mounting holes for the slide-rails.

Caution:

Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack does not become top-heavy and tip over. Extend the rack anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.

  1. Ensure that there is at least two rack units (2U) of vertical space in the rack cabinet to install the server. See Rack Compatibility.
  2. Place the Rackmounting Template against the front rails, and measure up from the bottom of the Rackmounting Template. The bottom edge of the Rackmounting Template card corresponds to the bottom edge of the server. Figure showing the Rackmounting Template being used for rackmount location.
  3. Mark the mounting holes for the front slide-rails. Figure showing the Rackmounting Template being used for 4-Drive server rackmount location.Figure showing the Rackmounting Template being used for 12-Drive server rackmount location.
  4. Mark the mounting holes for the back slide-rails.
