Pilot Rails

Adding Pilots in the rack requires you to install rack rails in the rack and slide rails on the chassis for each Pilot that you plan to add.

Pilot rail kits can be installed in the Sun trademark Rack 900, the Sun Rack 1000, and third-party ANSI/EIA 310-D-1992 or IEC 60927 compliant racks with the following types of holes:

Square (9.5 mm)
Round (M6 or 1/4-20 threaded only)

Caution

We recommend that you install each Pilot after you install the rail kit before installing the next combination of rail kit and Pilot. Installing all of the rail kits and then inserting the Pilots is not always possible because of potential space limitations in some data centers. Also, you run the risk of not placing the Pilot in the correct rack position and causing possible cabling issues.
