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).

Installing the Inner Rails on the Chassis
Installing the Inner Rails

  1. Identify the left and right side inner rails. Place the correct inner rail on the side of the

chassis, aligning the hooks of the chassis with the inner rail holes. Make sure the rail
faces "outward" so that it will fit with the rack's mounting bracket.

  1. Slide the rail toward the front of the chassis to hook the inner rail onto the side of the

chassis.

  1. If desired, secure the rail with two flat head M4 x 4mm screws as illustrated.

  1. Repeat for the other inner rail.



Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack
Installing the Outer Rails

  1.  

Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.

  1.  

Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.

  1.  

Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.

  1.  

Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of the rack.

  1.  

Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.

  1.  

Repeat for the other outer rail.


Installing the Chassis into a Rack:

  1. Align the chassis rails (A) with the front of the rack rails (B).

  1. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. You

may have to depress the locking tabs while inserting. When the server has been pushed
completely into the rack, the locking tabs should "click" into the locked position.

  1. If screws are used, tighten the screws on the front and rear of the outer rails.

  1. (Optional) Insert and tightening the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server to the

rack.

Note: Figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers into racks in the lower
positions first.
