Chapter 2: Server Installation
2.5 Installing the Chassis into a Rack
Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, you can install the server.
1. Pull the middle rail out of the front of the outer rail and make sure that the ball bearing
shuttle is locked at the front of the middle rail.
2. Align the rear of the chassis rails with the middle rails and then push evenly on both
sides of the chassis until it clicks into the fully extended position.
3. Depress the locking tabs on both sides of the chassis and push the it fully into the rack.
The locking tabs should "click".
4. Thumb screws may be used to secure the front of the chassis to the rack.

Notes:
Keep the ball bearing shuttle locked at the front of the middle rail during installation.
Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
