Installing the Outer Rails to the Rack.
1. Attach the short bracket to the outside of the long bracket. Align
the pins of the rail with the slides. The ends of each bracket must
angle in the same direction.
2. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so
that the rail fits snugly into the rack.
3. Secure the long bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two
M5 screws and the short bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with
three M5 screws.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the remaining outer rail.

. Assembling the Outer Rails
Installing the System into a Rack.
1. Confirm that chassis includes the inner rails and rail extensions.
Also, confirm that the outer rails are installed on the rack.
2. Align the 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 (It may be necessary to depress the locking tabs when
inserting). When the server has been pushed completely into the
rack, the locking tabs will “click” into the locked position.
4. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front
of the server to the rack.
