    Figure 2-1. Installing Rear Inner Chassis Rails Installing the Rack Rails Determine where you want to place the SuperServer 6015V-M3/6015V-MT in the rack (see Rack and Server Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the chassis rail guides at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside of the rack.
