Step 1
Attach the inner rails to the sides of the server:
a.
Align an inner rail with one side of the server so that the three keyed slots in the rail align with the
three pegs on the side of the server (see
).
b.
Set the keyed slots over the pegs, and then slide the rail toward the front to lock it in place on the
pegs. The front slot has a metal clip that locks over the front peg.
c.
Install the second inner rail to the opposite side of the server.
