Configuring The Sliding Rail Assemblies - Dell PowerEdge 2900 Installation Manual

Configuring the Sliding Rail Assemblies

The rotating mounting brackets on the mounting rails allow you to configure them as either RapidRails
or VersaRails. The mounting-bracket flange on the RapidRails configuration has two hooks and a push
button (see Figure 1-5). The mounting-bracket flange on the VersaRail has three holes (see Figure 1-6).
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 1-4):
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.
