Figure 2-4.  Installing the Chassis into the Rack

Installing the Chassis into a Rack

Installing into a Rack

1. 

Confirm that the inner and outer rails are installed on the rack. 

2.  Line chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.

3.  Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both 

sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). When the 
server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking 
tabs "click" into position. 

4.  (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server 

to the rack.
