Attaching The Mounting Hardware To The Rack - IBM EMX0 PCIe3 Installing

Attaching the mounting hardware to the rack

Learn how to attach the mounting hardware to the rack and then install the rails into the rack. The
information is intended to promote safety and reliable operation, and includes illustrations of the related
hardware components and shows how these components relate to each other.
Attention: To avoid rail failure and potential danger to yourself and to the unit, ensure that you have
the correct rails and fittings for your rack. If your rack has square support flange holes or screw-thread
support flange holes, ensure that the rails and fittings match the support flange holes that are used on
your rack. Do not install mismatched hardware by using washers or spacers. If you do not have the
correct rails and fittings for your rack, contact your IBM reseller.
Important: To complete this procedure, it is suggested that you use two people to attach the rail
assembly to the rack. Position one person in front of the rack and one person at the back of the rack.
To install the mounting hardware into the rack, complete the following steps:
1. Gather the rail kit parts that you need during this procedure.
The rail kit includes the following parts:
Note: The installation of the EMX0 PCIe3 expansion drawer does not require usage of all parts
included in the rail kit.
v M3 flat head screws (used only with FC 5887)
v L-shaped brackets (used only with FC 5887)
v M5 slotted large round head screws and M5 slotted no head screws to accommodate various racks
v Nut clips for racks with round holes
v Nut clips for racks with square holes
v M5 black hex head screws
v Rails
2. Ensure that you have the electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap attached. If not, attach it now.
3. Rotate down the front and back clamps (C) on the left and right rails as shown in Figure 5 on page 9.
