Attaching the Bracket Rail to the
Rack Mounting Bracket
Each slide rail assembly consists of an outer bracket rail and an inner server
rail. The pieces can be separated. The bracket rails attach to the rack mounting
brackets, and the server rails attach to the sides of the server chassis.

IMPORTANT: To make the installation of the rack mounting bracket easier, attach the
bracket rail to the rack mounting bracket before attaching the mounting bracket assembly
to the rack. In this way, the joined rack mounting bracket and bracket rail can be fastened
to the rack as one assembly.
NOTE: Read all six steps before you begin.
1. Unpack the hardware mounting kit. Lay the two-piece slide rail
assembly (outer bracket rail and inner server rail) and fasteners on a flat
surface with the mounting brackets and fasteners that came with the
rack.
2. Lay the bracket rail inside of the rack mounting bracket with the front of
both pieces oriented in the same direction. Align the front screw hole in
the rack mounting bracket and the bracket rail.
To identify the front of the rack mounting bracket and the bracket rail,
see that the front of the rack mounting bracket has alignment tabs on its
flange and the front of the bracket rail enables the inner slide to move
forward on ball bearings.
