Note:

Do not tighten the rack slide rail screws.

d.

Repeat these steps for the right slide rail.

3.

Attach the chassis rails to the system chassis. To attach the chassis rails to the system chassis, perform
the following tasks:

a.

On the left side of the system, align the metal tabs on the left side of the system chassis with the
square holes on the left chassis slide rail. Slide the chassis slide rail toward the front of the rack
until the chassis slide rail clicks into place.

b.

Attach the system chassis slide rail to the system chassis by screwing in the two screws that were
supplied in the rail kit.

c.

Repeat for the chassis slide rail on the right side of the system.

4.

Install the rack slide rails into the rack.

a.

Move to the front of the rack.

b.

Select the left rack slide rail, and locate the EIA unit that you previously marked. Each slide rail is
also marked Back, to designate the rear of the rack. Ensure that you are holding the front end of
the rack slide rail.

c.

Extend the rail from the front of the rack to the back of the rack and align the rack slide rail pins
with the holes in the rack flange that you previously marked.

d.

Push the rack rail pins into the rear rack flange until the rear rack rail latch clicks into place.

e.

Pull the front of the rack rail toward the front of the rack rail flange. Align the slide rail pins with
the holes in the rail flange and pull them until the rail latch clicks into place.

f.

Using a screwdriver, tighten the rail screws that you installed in step 2.

g.

Repeat steps 4a - 4f for the right slide rail.

5.

Secure the rails to the rack.

a.

Move to the rear of the rack.

b.

Slide each washer onto to each of the longer screws that is included with the rail kit.

c.

Screw a screw and washer through the middle hole of each rail on each side of the rear of the
rack.

Installing the system into the rack and connecting and routing power
cables

After you install the system onto the rails in the rack, connect and route power cables.

Note:

This system requires two people to install the system into the rack.

1.

Remove the protective plastic film from the top of the system chassis.

2.

Move to the front of the rack.

3.

Using two people, lift the system and align the system chassis rails on each side of the chassis with
the rack slide rails.

4.

While one person is supporting the weight of the system, have the second person gently push the
system into the rack, until you hear each slide rail click into place.

5.

Push the system toward the rear of the rack until the system.

6.

Secure the system to the rack by screwing a screw through the handles on each side of the system
chassis.

7.

Plug the power cords into the power supplies.
