Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
2-5 Installing the System into a Rack
This section provides information on installing the S846 chassis into a rack unit with
the quick-release rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market,
which may mean the assembly procedure will differ slightly. You should also refer
to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.
Separating the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes two rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of two sections: an inner fixed chassis rail that secures directly to
the server chassis and an outer fixed rack rail that secures directly to the rack itself.
Separating the Inner and Outer Rails
1. Locate the rail assembly in the chassis packaging.
2. Extend the rail assembly by pulling it outward.
3. Press the quick-release tab.
4. Separate the inner rail extension from the outer rail assembly.
