Chapter 2: Server Installation

Installing the Outer Rails
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 M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with
three M4 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 also 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.
