Installing the Fabric Interconnect F1-15 in a 4-Post Rack
This section documents how to install the Fabric Interconnect F1-15 in a 4-post
equipment rack.
The procedure in this section documents installing a Fabric Interconnect F1-15 by
using the standard rail kit that comes with the Fabric Interconnect. The rail kit is
useful as a “rack helper” to temporarily hold the chassis in place in the
rack while attaching rack-mount hardware, inserting screws, and so on. You can leave the
rail kit in the rack if you choose, but be aware that doing so will consume rack units
that could be devoted to additional equipment.
Note -
The topics documented in this section are for stand-alone Fabric Interconnect
deployments only. The Fabric Interconnect is orderable as a complete, engineered
system called the Oracle Virtual Compute Appliance (VCA), which has different
contents and installation procedures. If you are deploying a stand-alone (non-VCA)
Fabric Interconnect, continue to use this documentation. If you are deploying a VCA
Fabric Interconnect, do not use this documentation. Instead, use the documentation
that accompanied your VCA shipment.
