Configuring The Sliding Rail Assemblies (Sliding Rail Kits Only) - Dell PowerEdge 1950 Installation Manual

Configuring the Sliding Rail Assemblies (Sliding Rail Kits Only)

The sliding rail assembly has a rotating mounting bracket at each end of the rail. The position of the
bracket determines whether the rail assembly is used as a RapidRail or a VersaRail. The RapidRail side of
the bracket has a hook and a latch that secure it to the vertical rail. The VersaRail side of the bracket has
three holes and uses screws to attach it to the vertical rail.
NOTE:
The rack kit ships with the sliding rail assemblies in the RapidRails configuration.
To rotate the mounting bracket and change the mounting rails from RapidRails to VersaRails
(see Figure 1-5):
1 Lift the release lever on the rotating mounting bracket.
2 Rotate the bracket and slide it up off the two shoulder standoffs.
3 Continue to rotate the bracket 180 degrees until you can set the notches back over the shoulder
standoffs.
4 Rotate the bracket back in the opposite direction on the shoulder standoffs until the bracket clicks
into place.
