Chapter 2: Server Installation
aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the
assembly procedure will differ slightly.
The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do this
by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked position
then pull the two rails completely apart. Do this for both the left and right side rack
rail assemblies.
Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the fi xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the chassis
so that the three screw holes line up with the corresponding holes on the chassis.
Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of
the chassis (see Figure 2-2) with the screws provided in the rackmount kit. 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 you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which
serves two functions. The fi rst 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.
