2.3 Procedure for Rack Mounting
This section provides information on installing a 4U 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.
Note:
This rail will fit a rack between 26.5"and 36.4" deep.
Identifying the Inner Rack Rails
The chassis package includes one pair of rack rail assemblies in the rack mounting kit. Each
assembly consists of an inner rail that secures to the chassis and an outer rail that is attached
directly to the rack. The inner rails are etched with "L" (Left side) and "R" (Right side).

Note:
The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at the bottom
of the rack first.
