Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack
first.
2.4 Installing the Server into a Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack. The next step is to
install the server into the rack.
1. Line up the rear of 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 (you
may have to press the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-2.
3. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
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.
