Quick Deploy Rail System Installation Instructions for HP Products ships with each set of slides.
Follow the steps in this installation guide to determine where and how to install the server into the
rack.

Pedestal kit installation

If you order the rackless configuration option, the server ships with a pedestal mount. The pedestal
mount is packaged in a separate carton that is attached to the server carton.

Remove the rails from the server

If your server has rails when you receive it, you need to remove the rails before mounting it in the
pedestal kit. To remove the component:
1. Slightly pull the rail lock away from the rail to unlock the rail. See
2. Slide the rail toward the front of the server to disengage the rail from the posts on the server.
