2.  Install the appropriate nuts, depending on the equipment rack’s holes, inside the 

equipment rack’s rails at the appropriate height (see Figure 1).

– If the equipment rack uses round holes, install all 12 clip nuts 

.

– If the equipment rack uses square holes, install all 12 caged nuts 

.

3.  Install the rear mounting rails 

 in the equipment rack (see Figure 1).

Note:  IBM Corporation recommends following these installation instructions for the 

rear mounting rails, especially if the installation is performed by a single 
individual.

a.  Align the rear mounting rail in front of (or outside) the equipment rack’s rear rail.

b.  Attach the rear mounting rail to the equipment rack’s rear rail using two hex 

screws 

. Insert the screws in the top and bottom holes – leave the center hole 

open for now.

Attention:  Do not fully tighten the rear mounting rail’s hex screws at this time. 
Final adjustments will be required once the rack-mount tray assembly is installed 
in the equipment rack.

c.  Repeat steps 3a and 3b for the remaining rear mounting rail.

4.  Mount the rack-mount tray assembly 

 in the equipment rack (see Figure 1).

a.  Align the rack-mount tray assembly with the installed rear mounting rails.

b.  Slowly insert the tray assembly into the equipment rack and the rear mounting 

rails.

c.  Ensure that the front mounting rails insert properly into the rear mounting rails. 

The rear mounting rail should fit between the curved metal lips on the front 
mounting rail.

d.  Adjust the tray assembly to fit in the desired location.

e.  Align the front mounting rail in front of (or outside) the equipment rack’s rail.

f.  Attach the front mounting rail to the equipment rack’s front rail using two hex 

screws 

. Insert the screws in the top and bottom holes – leave the center hole 

open for now.

Attention:  Do not fully tighten the front mounting rail’s hex screws at this time.

g.  Repeat steps 4e and 4f for the remaining front mounting rail.

h.  Once both front mounting rails are installed, make adjustments to the tray 

assembly as necessary for proper alignment in the equipment rack.

screws for the front and rear mounting rails.
