2-5 Rack Mounting Instructions
This section provides information on installing the chassis into a rack unit with the
rails provided. There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean
that the assembly procedure will differ slightly from the instructions provided. You
should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are
using. Note: This rail will fit a rack between 26.5" and 36.4" deep
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
The chassis package includes a rack rail assembly in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of three sections: An inner chassis rail which secures directly to
the chassis, an outer rail that secures to the rack, and a middle rail which extends
from the outer rail. These assemblies are specifically designed for the left and right
side of the chassis.
Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis
Installing the Inner Rails
1. Place the inner rails on the side of the chassis aligning the hooks of the chas-
sis with the inner rail holes. Make sure that the rail faces "outward" so that it
will fit with the rack's mounting bracket.
2. Slide the rail toward the front of the chassis.

3. Secure the rail to the chassis with four screws as illustrated.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the other inner rack rail.
Locking Tabs
Each inner rail has a locking tab. This tab locks the chassis into place when installed
and pushed fully into the rack. These tabs also lock the chassis in place when fully
extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of
the rack when when the chassis is pulled out for servicing.
Releasing the Inner Rail
Releasing Inner Rail from the Outer Rails
1. Identify the left and right outer rail assemblies as described on page 5-4.
2. Pull the inner rail out of the outer rail until it is fully extended as illustrated
below.
3. Press the locking tab down to release the inner rail.
4. Pull the inner rail all the way out.
5. Repeat steps 1-3 for the second outer rail.
