Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Pro-
ceed to the next step.
Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. At-
tach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to
the rear side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the
proper distance so that the rail can fi t snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket
to the front side of the outer rail with two screws and the long bracket to the rear
side of the outer rail with three screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.
Locking Tabs: Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
The fi rst is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the
rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place
when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely
out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
Figure 2-2. Installing the Rack Rails
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are de-
signed to pull the system from a rack only.
