Install the rails

Notes: 1) The system rails are front-to-back and left-to-right side dependent. The rails are labeled on the front
lower corner, left or right. The top of the rails can be identified by the screws located on the top of
the front and rear rail flange.
2) Always begin installing the system or I/O drawers at the bottom of the rack and work yourself upward
toward the top of the rack. Never work from the top down.
3) If you are installing a Model 6C4 into a non-IBM rack, check the alignment pins located on the
front and rear of your rails. If they are not the correct diameter, locate the alignment-pin bracket
kit, and install the correct alignment pins and pin brackets. Step 1 "Check your inventory" lists
the contents of the alignment-pin bracket kit.
