Installing the Rack Rails
1. Determine where you want to place the 5019S-ML in the rack (see Rack and Server
Precautions in Section 2-3).
2.
Position the fixed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies at the desired location in the
rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.
3. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided.
4. Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are at the
exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is
to install the server into the rack.
1. Line up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
2. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you
may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting). See Figure 2-3.
3. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
4. Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to
the rack.

Note:
Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack
first.
Warning:
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to
stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
