Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next
step is to install the server into the rack. You should have two brackets in the rack
mount kit. Install these first keeping in mind that they are left/right specific (marked
with "L" and "R"). Then, line up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack
rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides (you may have to depress the locking tabs when inserting).
When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the
locking tabs "click". Finish by inserting and tightening the thumbscrews that hold
the front of the server to the rack (see Figure 2-4).

Note: figures are for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom
of a rack first.
