Figure 2-5. Installing the Rack Rails
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Confirm that chassis includes the inner rails and inner rail extensions. Also -
confirm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
2. Align the chassis inner rails with the front of the out rails on the rack.
3. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When the
server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs click into position.
4. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server
to the rack.
Installing the Chassis into a Telco rack
To install the chassis into a Telco or post-style rack, use two L-shaped brackets on
either side of the chassis (four total).
1. First, determine how far follow the server will extend out the front of the rack.
Larger chassis should be positioned to balance the weight between front and
back.
2. If a bezel is included on your server, remove it.
3. Attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear
brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the
telco rack.
4. Finish by sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the
rack. See the figure on the following page.
