Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1.
Align the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
2.
Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides. The spring latch engages when the chassis is part way in. Push the server
completely into the rack.
3. (
Optional
) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server
to the rack.
Note:
The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at
the bottom of the rack first.
Warning
: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.
Figure 2-4. Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack
Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack
Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into
your rack holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be
removed, and you must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.
Outer Rail Installation
1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the
front of the rack (C). Push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket
snaps into place, securing the rail to the rack. Keep the rail horizontal.
2.
Adjust the rail to reach just past the full depth of your rack.
3.
Align the square pegs on the rear end of the rail to the holes on the rack (D)
and push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place,
securing the rail to the rack.
4. Repeat the procedure for the other outer rail assembly.

the bottom of the rack first.
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.
