Figure 12: Installing the outer rails to the rack
Caution:
The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in a place, or the rack must be bolted to
the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the rack can causde
the rack to tip over. Always install the first server to the bottom rack first.
How to install the system into your rack
Caution:
It is dangerous for a single person to off-load the heavy chassis from the rack
without assistance. Be sure to have sufficient assistance supporting the chassis when
removing it from the rack. Use a server lift.
Caution:
Do not pick up the server by the front handles. They are designed to pull the
system from a rack only.
This section provides information on installing a chassis into a rack unit with the rails provided.
There are a variety of rack units on the market, so the assembly procedure may differ slightly.
Also refer to the installation instructions for your rack unit.
1.
Confirm that chassis includes the inner rails (a), also confirm that the outer rails (b) are
installed on the rack.
2.
Align the chassis rails (a) with the front of the rack rails (b).
3.
Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both both sides. You
may have to depress the locking tabs while inserting. When the server has been pushed
completely into the rack, the locking tabs should click into the locked position.
4.
If screws are used, tighten the screws on the front and rear of the outer rails.
5.
(Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the rack.
