Overview of Server Installation
NOTE:
The server can be installed with the mounting bracket slide assembly in either closed
or extended position.
1.
Carefully align the server component rails with the rack slide rails, then slide the
server all the way into the rack (2) until the server rail locks engage (1).
CAUTION:
Be sure to keep the server parallel to the floor when sliding the
server component rails into the mounting bracket slide rails. Tilting the server up
or down can result in damage to the rails.
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when
sliding the server into the rack. The slide rails could pinch your
fingertips.
IMPORTANT:
The first time you slide the server into the rack, you may have to apply
some pressure. After the first time, the ball bearings in the slide should move easily.
2.
Slide the server in and out of the rack several times to properly align the slide
mount rails.
3.
Secure the server by screwing the front panel thumbscrews into the rack (3).
