Standard Chassis Installation
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Confirm that the inner rails are properly installed on the chassis.
2. Confirm that the outer rails are correctly installed on the rack.
3. Pull the middle rail out from the front of the outer rail and make sure that the
ball-bearing shuttle is at the front locking position of the middle rail.
4. Align the chassis inner rails with the front of the middle rails.
5. Slide the inner rails on the chassis into the middle rails, keeping the pressure
even on both sides, until the locking tab of the inner rail clicks into the front of
the middle rail, locking the chassis into the fully extended position.
6. Depress the locking tabs of both sides at the same time and push the chassis
all the way into the rear of the rack.
7. If necessary for security purposes, use screws to secure the chassis handles
to the front of the rack.

Optional Quick Installation Method
The following quick installation method may be used to install the chassis onto a
rack.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Install the whole rail assembly onto the rack as described on page X-7.
2. Release the inner rail without retracting the middle rail.
3. Install the inner rails on the chassis as previously described on page X-6.
4. Install the chassis onto the middle rail as described in the previous section.
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.
Warning: When initially installing the server into 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.
Note: figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks
from the bottom up.
