Loading the Rack Server

Follow the steps below to load and secure the server to the rack with the front
bezel thumbscrews before attaching additional mounting bracket assemblies.
Ensure that this pair of brackets is perfectly aligned and installed and that the
server fits before you continue.
1. Pull the slide rail assemblies forward from the rack mounting brackets.
2. Carefully align the server rails with the rack's slide rail assemblies and
slide the server into the rack.
IMPORTANT: To make the server lighter and more manageable, do not install
drives or Redundand Hot-Plug Power Supplies in the server until after you
load the server into the rack.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful when
pressing the server rail release latches and sliding the component
into the rack. The slide rails could pinch your fingertips.
CAUTION: Be sure to keep the server parallel to the floor when
sliding the server rails into the slide rails. Tilting the server up or
down could result in damage to the rails.
