Installing The Outer Rails Onto The Rack - Supermicro A+ Server AS -1115CS-TNR User Manual

Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack

Each end of the assembled outer rail includes a bracket with square pegs to fit into your rack
holes. If you have an older rack with round holes, these brackets must be removed, and you
must use screws to secure the rail to the rack.
Outer Rail Installation
1. Align the square pegs on the front end of the rail with the square holes on the front of
the rack (C). Push the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place,
securing the rail to the rack. Keep the rail horizontal.
2. Adjust the rail to reach just past the full depth of your rack.
3. Align the square pegs on the rear end of the rail to the holes on the rack (D) and push
the rail into the rack until the quick release bracket snaps into place, securing the rail to
the rack.

of the rack first.
Stability hazard. The rack stabilizing mechanism must be in place, or the rack must
be bolted to the floor before you slide the unit out for servicing. Failure to stabilize the
rack can cause the rack to tip over.
