Assembly to the Rack

Measuring with the Template

The template provided with the server offers an easy and reliable way to
properly position the server in the rack. Use the tabs on the template to suspend
it from the lower hole of a two-hole set of perforations in the vertical side rails.
Pencil mark the attachment points for the mounting bracket assemblies, the
cage nuts for the face-plate thumbscrews, and the top of the server. Use the tick
marks on the rack side rails to ensure level installation of the server. See
illustrations and instructions printed on the template.
IMPORTANT: Determine the server's place in the rack before you install
the mounting bracket assemblies. To remind you of the proper placement of
the server in the rack, refer to the Rack Builder report you printed when you
planned your rack configuration. Always mount the heaviest item on the
bottom of the rack and work from the bottom to the top.
1. Starting at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted
component, measure the screw hole locations for the server's mounting
bracket assemblies. Pencil mark the locations on the outside of the rack.
Do this on both the front and the back of the rack.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to
the equipment, be sure that the rack leveling feet are extended to
the floor and support the full weight of the rack. Each rack must
be level and stable. Racks that are not coupled together require
the installation of stabilizers. This must be done before you
perform any work on the rack.
