Installing the Server in a Rack The server mounts in a rack using a Rack Mount Kit. For information on rack mount kits and the specifications for compatible racks, see "N8100-821F NEC Express5800/140Rc-4 User's Guide" (856-121794-502-00). Install the Rack Mount Kit following the instructions on the back of "N8100-821F NEC Express5800/140Rc-4 User's Guide" (856-121794-502-00) and the instructions that came with the kit. When installing or removing the server from the rack, use an appropriate mechanical assist unit to lift and move the server. 24
