Preparing to Mount the Chassis in a Rack

Before mounting the chassis in a rack, keep in mind the following:

- Make sure that you have reviewed the Sun Blade 6000 and Sun Blade 6048 Modular System Site Planning Guide to make sure that your site meets the requirements for installing the server.

- Make sure that you have the tools and equipment needed for installing the system. See Tools and Equipment Needed.

- Take precautions to avoid electrostatic discharge. See Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge.

- If you are installing the server manually (not using a mechanical lift), you will need to remove some of the preinstalled components in the chassis. See Removing Chassis Components.

- If you are using a lift, you do not need to remove chassis components. See Mounting the Chassis in a Rack.

### Tools and Equipment Needed

You will need the following tools and supplies to install the base modules and options into chassis and mount the chassis into a rack:

- No. 2 Phillips screwdriver

- Rackmount kit

- Antistatic wrist strap

- Antistatic mat

### Avoiding Electrostatic Discharge

Internal modules and options are electronic components that are extremely sensitive to static electricity. Ordinary amounts of static from your clothes or work environment can destroy components.

To prevent static damage whenever you are accessing any of the internal components, you must:

- Place static sensitive components such as hard drives, server modules, server module options, NEMs, and EMs on an antistatic surface. The following items can be used as an antistatic surface:

- The bag used to ship the component.

- Sun Electronic Discharge (ESD) mat, Sun part number 250-1088 (available through your Oracle sales representative).

- Use an antistatic wrist strap. Attach this wrist strap to your wrist and ground the other end of strap to the system chassis (sheet metal).

Mounting the Chassis in a Rack

After unpacking the system chassis and verifying that all the components in your order were received, proceed to the instructions on the Sun Blade 6000 Chassis Rack Alignment Template, 263-2755, for detailed instructions on mounting the chassis.

This document is included with the Sun Blade 6000 modular system rackmount kit and is also available on the Sun Blade 6000 modular system documentation site at:

`http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/prod/blade.6000mod~blade6000#hic`

After mounting the chassis in the rack, if you have removed modules to install the chassis manually, replace the modules as shown in: Installing Modules and Options.
