Preparing the Mounting Brackets and
Slide Rail Assemblies
Each pair of mounting brackets, with attached slide rail assemblies, supports
one rack server.
NOTE: Alignment tabs on the rack mounting brackets identify front flanges.
Each slide rail assembly consists of an outer bracket rail and an inner
component rail like the ones shown below. These pieces can be separated to
attach to the frame. Attach the bracket rails to the rack mounting brackets and
the component rails to the sides of the server chassis.
