Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
Figure 2-5. Installing the Server into a Rack
2.5 Installing the Server into the Rack
After attaching rails to both the chassis and the rack, slide the server into the rack.
1.
Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing
shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail.
2.
Align the rear of the inner (chassis) rails with the front of the outer (rack) rails and slide
the inner rails into the outer rails until the server is completely in the rack.
3.
Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.
When initially installing the server to a rack, test that the rail locking tabs engage to
prevent the server from being overextended. Have a rack lift in place as a precaution
in case the test fails.
Warning:
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
