Note:
Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
First, it locks the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack (its normal
operating position. In addition, these tabs lock the server in place when fully extended from
the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when pulled out
for servicing.
Extending the Rails and Releasing the Inner Rail
Warning:
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
Releasing the Inner Rail
To mount the rail onto the chassis, first release the inner rail from the outer and middle rails.
Releasing the Inner Rail from the Middle and Outer Rails
1. Lift the auto-lock latch and pull the inner rail until it is fully extended.
2. Press down the locking lever on the inside of the inner rail to release the inner rail.
Continue to pull the inner rail out of the middle rail.
