CAUTION
Due to the appliance's weight and size, Silver
Peak recommends that two people mount the chassis in a
4-post server rack, using the chassis rails that ship with
the appliance. Alternatively, when using a lift, it's possible
to install the appliance safely with one person.

3. Locate the square hole at the end of the inner rail and the catch at
the front side of the appliance chassis.
4. Place hole over catch and move the inner rail toward the rear to
secure.
5. For each side, you'll need to use the following screws:
• One loose 10#-32 screw for anchoring the rail's alignment to the
Inner rails chassis. Here, the size and shape of the hole in the rail is the same
as the one in the appliance chassis.
• Three 10#-32-R screws (previously attached to the chassis) for
securing the rail through keyhole slots. Relative to the anchor
screw, one screw is between the alignment screw and the appliance
faceplate.

For anchoring alignment – 10#-32
The remaining two screws are between the alignment screw and
the rear of the chassis.
