Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Chassis Rails
You will need to remove the top bezel cover and the feet to add rack rails to the
chassis. First, remove the top and right covers (top and left covers when standing
as a tower chassis) by depressing the latch on the rear lip of the top (side if tower)
cover to release it – then push the cover off. Finally, unscrew the four feet and
remove them from the chassis (see Figure 2-2).
Figure 2-2. Preparing to Install the Chassis Rails
You can now attach rack rails to the top and bottom (now the sides) of the chassis.
First add the rack handles. Then position the inner chassis rail sections you just
removed along the side of the chassis making sure the screw holes line up. Note
that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the
chassis (see Figure 2-3). Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side
of the chassis. You will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a
telco rack.
Locking Tabs: The chassis rails have locking tabs that serve to lock the server into
place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position.
