Installing The System Using The Fixed Rails; Attaching The Fixed Rails To The Rack - IBM Power System S822LC Installing The System And Ordered Parts

Installing the system using the fixed rails

If you ordered the system with the fixed rail option, read this section to install the system into the rack
using the fixed rails.

Attaching the fixed rails to the rack

If you have fixed rails, you might need to install them into the rack. Use this procedure to perform this
task.
About this task
Note: The system requires 2 EIA rack units (2U) of space.
If present, use the rack-mount template to determine and mark the location, and to attach the mounting
hardware to the rack.
Procedure
1. Select the appropriate EIA location unit number for the rails. Each EIA location contains three (3)
holes for mounting hardware. For the purpose of these instructions, each EIA set of holes are
identified as a, b, and c, from the top of each EIA unit to the bottom of each EIA unit.
2. Rotate the locking clamps downward at each end of both rails, to the open position.

Note: The rails are marked with an L, to designate the left rail, and an R, to designate the right rail.
Note: You might have to move the alignment pins in the fixed rails before installing the rails in the
rack.
3. At the rack front, align the bottom of the right rail with the bottom hole (c) of the EIA unit selected,
in both the front of the rack and the rear of the rack. The locator pins (A) fit into holes (b) and (c) of
