Sliding the Chassis onto the Rack Rails

Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Align the chassis rails with the front of the rack rails.
2. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both
sides. The spring latch engages when the chassis is part way in. Push the
server completely into the rack.
3. (Optional) Insert and tighten the thumbscrews that hold the front of the server
to the rack.
Note: The fi gure above is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers at
the bottom of the rack fi rst.
Warning: Do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed
to pull the system from a rack only.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the
rack must be bolted to the fl oor before you slide the unit out for servicing.
Failure to stabilize the rack can cause the rack to tip over.
