Installing the Outer Rails onto the Rack
Installing the Outer Rails
1. Press upward on the locking tab at the rear end of the middle rail.
2. Push the middle rail back into the outer rail.
3. Hang the hooks on the front of the outer rail onto the square holes on the front of the
rack. If desired, use screws to secure the outer rails to the rack.
4. Pull out the rear of the outer rail, adjusting the length until it just fits within the posts of
the rack.
5. Hang the hooks of the rear section of the outer rail onto the square holes on the rear of
the rack. Take care that the proper holes are used so the rails are level. If desired, use
screws to secure the rear of the outer rail to the rear of the rack.
6. Repeat for the other outer rail.

Note: Both front chassis rails and the rack rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions.
First, it locks the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack (its normal
operating position. In addition, these tabs lock the server in place when fully extended from
the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when pulled out
for servicing.
Warning: 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.
