Assembling the Outer Rails
Each outer rail comes in two sections that must be assembled before mounting onto the rack.
Assembling the Outer Rails
1. Identify the left and right outer rails by examining the ends, which bend outward. Match
the left front outer rail with the left rear outer rail and the same for the right rails.
2. Align the round post in the rear rail (2) with the round hole at the end of the slot in the
front rail (1), and slide the front section into the rear section.
Note:
Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
First, it locks the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack (its normal
operating position. In addition, these tabs lock the server in place when fully extended from
the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when pulled out
for servicing.

Note:
Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
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.
Installing the Outer Rails
1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the front of
the rack (3). 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 (44) 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.
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.
