Installing the Rear Inner Rails
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the server in the rack. Note that servers should always be
installed to the bottom of a rack first for stability reasons.
1.
Position the chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail
guide facing the inside of the rack.
2.
Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided.
3.
Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the exact
same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
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.
Installing the Server into a Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack. The next step is to install
the server into the rack.
1.
Line up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
2.
Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may
have to press the locking tabs when inserting).
