Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails
Warning:
Mounting the system into the rack requires at least two people to support the
chassis during installation. Please follow safety recommendations printed on the rails.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Extend the outer rails as illustrated above.
2. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack.
3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. When
the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, it should click into the locked
position.
4. Optional screws may be used to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.
Note:
The figure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the
bottom of the rack first.
Caution:
Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull the
system from a rack only.
