Installing the Outer Rails
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack.
Attach 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 M4 screws and the long bracket
to the rear side of the outer rail with three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the
left outer rail. See Figure 2-2.
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.
