2.4 Installing the Chassis into a Rack
Once rails are attached to the chassis and the rack, you can install the server.
Warning: Mounting the system into the rack requires at least two people to support the
chassis during installation. Please follow safety recommendations printed on the rails.
Installing the Chassis into a Rack
1. Extend the outer rails as illustrated.
2. Align the inner rails of the chassis with the outer rails on the rack.
3. Slide the inner rails into the outer rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides. When
the chassis has been pushed completely into the rack, it should click into the locked
position.
4. Optional screws may be used to hold the front of the chassis to the rack.
Note: Keep the ball bearing shuttle locked at the front of the middle rail during installation.
Note: Figure is for illustrative purposes only. Always install servers to the bottom of a rack first.
