Chapter 2: Server Installation
Installing the Chassis Rails:
You will need to remove the top bezel cover and the feet to add rack rails to the
chassis. First, remove the top/left cover by pushing the release tab in the center
of the cover lip (see Figure 2-2). Lift the cover off. Each chassis foot has a single
screw. Remove the screw then depress the foot's locking tab from the inside of
the chassis to slide the foot off. Next, remove the top cover. You should see
a release tab at the middle of the lip. Push this tab toward the chassis edge
while pushing the cover toward the front of the chassis. It should then lift right
off. You can now attach rack rails to the top and bottom (now the sides) of the
chassis. First add the rack handles. Then position the fixed chassis rail sec-
tions you just removed along the side of the 7044A-82R making sure the screw
holes line up. Note that these two rails are left/right specific. Screw the rail
securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-3). Repeat this procedure for
the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will also need to attach the
rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As mentioned, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The first is to lock the server into place when installed and
pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs
also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents
the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for
servicing.
