Installing Your Gateway Server into a Rackmount Cabinet Converting your server to a rackmount server You can convert your Gateway 960 or Gateway 980 server to a rackmount server. Before converting your server, make sure that the server is on a stable work surface, such as a strong table or counter. Warning To avoid injury or damage to the server, we recommend that two people lift the server. Although your server configuration may vary from the server configuration shown in the following instructions, the general installation process will be similar. To convert your server to a rackmount server, you need to complete the following tasks in sequence: 1 Remove the front cover, side and top panels, and feet. 2 Remove and rotate the drives, drive bay adapters, and EMI shield 90 degrees. 3 Rotate and install the front cover drive faceplates. 4 Install the rackmount handles. 5 Install the front cover and top panel.
