Locating the Mounting Holes
You can either count the holes on the vertical rack rails or use the rack alignment
template included with your documentation set. Ensure that each slide assembly is
installed at the same height front-to-back and side-to-side in the rack.
The rack alignment template is four rack units (7.00 inch/17.78 cm) tall. You use the
rack alignment template to ensure that the server is correctly placed within standard
rack unit spacing, in which the top of the system is defined to be midway between a
set of holes separated by 0.5 inch (1.27 cm).
The 4-post mounting holes on the rack alignment template are for mounting the
slide assembly brackets to the vertical rack rails. The upper and lower retainer screw
openings in the template locate the chassis bracket screws that secure the server in
the rack after the server is installed.
