Introduction to Rack Mounting Hardware Installation

This document provides instructions for installing your server in a rack, and for installing and removing shipping brackets.

Shipping brackets must be installed if you plan to ship your server in a rack, and they must be removed if your server was shipped to you in a rack.

Your server includes one of two types of mounting hardware; the standard rack mounting kit, and the universal rack mounting kit. This document provides separate instructions for each.

Note - The Sun Server X2-8 was formerly named the Sun Fire X4800 M2 server. This former name might still appear in the product. The name change does not indicate any change in system features or functionality.
