a) Align an inner rail with one side of the server so that the three keyed slots in the rail align with the three pegs on the
side of the server (see the figure above).
b) Set the keyed slots over the pegs, and then slide the rail toward the front to lock it in place on the pegs. The front slot
has a metal clip that locks over the front peg.
c) Install the second inner rail to the opposite side of the server.
Step 2
Open the front securing plate on both slide-rail assemblies. The front end of the slide-rail assembly has a spring-loaded
securing plate that must be open before you can insert the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes.
