2.3 Installing the Server into a Rack
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly
procedure.
The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting
hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the
specific rack you are using.
Identifying the Sections of the Rack Rails
You may have received rack rail hardware with the 6019P-MT/MTR. Two front inner rails
should already be attached to the chassis. Note that these two rails are left/right specific.
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.
Installing the Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the 6019P-MT/MTR in the rack (see Rack and Server
Precautions in Section 2-2). Position the chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack,
keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to
the rack using the brackets provided. 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
Install the server into the rack by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the
rack rails. 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 2-2.
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 press the locking tabs when inserting).
3. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
