Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack
Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the rack. Attach a short
bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a long bracket to the rear side of the right
outer rail. Adjust both the short and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail can
fit snugly into the rack. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with two
screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with three screws. Repeat these
steps for the left outer rail.
Locking Tabs:
Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is
to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal
position. Secondly, these tabs lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This
prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.

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.
