– 12 screws (for attaching the
server-to-slide-rail-assembly)
Ÿ
Three power cords (cables)
Notes
1. The two slide-rail-latch assemblies (left and right)
come preinstalled on the server.
2. The illustrations in this chapter might differ
slightly from the hardware or the installation
template.
To attach the mounting hardware to the rack:
1. Refer to the rack enclosure documentation to gain
front and rear access.
2. Mark the positions of the slide-rail assemblies,
slide-rail-latch assemblies, and the
cable-management arm on the rack mounting rails:
a. Position the installation template on the front
mounting rails.
b. Mark the location of all the holes on the front of
the server (for the slide-rail assemblies and
slide-rail-latch assemblies).
c. Move the template to the same level at the rear
of the server.
d. Mark the location of all the holes on the rear of
the server (for the slide-rail assemblies and the
cable-management-arm attachment bracket).
Note
Some racks come with cage nuts for the
mounting rails, whereas other racks come
with clip nuts for the mounting rails. To
determine the type of mounting hardware
that comes with the rack, refer to the rack
documentation. The illustrations in this
chapter show how to install cage nuts. If
the rack comes with clip nuts, manually slide
them onto the mounting rails, as shown in
the following illustration.
e. Install eight of the cage nuts or clip nuts in the
mounting rails at the locations marked for the
slide-rail assemblies. See the following
illustration.
f. Install two of the cage nuts or clip nuts in the
mounting rails at the location marked for the
cable-management-arm bracket.
g. Install two of the cage nuts or clip nuts at the
bottom of the front mounting rails at the location
marked for the slide-rail-latch assemblies.
