  • Page 36: Appendix A Installing The Server In A Rack

    Appendix A Installing the Server in a Rack This section describes how to rackmount the 1U12L Series server with slide rail assemblies. The rails installation instructions in this manual are example only, your actual rail assembly procedure may differ slightly . The slide rail assembly consists of a chassis rail and a slide rail.
  • Page 37 To slide a chassis rail back into the slide rail assembly, push the blue release button toward the rear, and simultaneously slide the chassis rail into the slide rail assembly until it is locked and cannot be pushed further. Attaching the Chassis Rails to the Server Position a chassis rail along one side of the chassis, and align the keyhole openings on the chassis rail with the locating pins on the side of the chassis.
  • Page 38 Attaching the Slide Rail Assemblies to the Rack Determine where to attach the slide rails. Make sure you have three holes of free space above the slide rail bracket. For the rack with square mounting holes, insert cage nuts in the holes that you will use on the rack.
  • Page 39 Adjust the brackets to accommodate the depth of the rack. 1 1 U 1 1 U Align the holes on the brackets with the mounting holes you selected on the rack. Tighten the screws to secure the slide rails to the rack. Make sure the rear bracket meets the rear vertical rail of the rack.
  • Page 40 Fully tighten the lock nuts on the rear bracket. 1 1 U Sliding the Server into the Rack Ensure that the slide rails are properly and securely attached to the rack. Fully extend the slide rails from the rack by pulling the inner rails out until they are locked and cannot be pulled out further.
  • Page 41 Slide the server slowly and evenly all the way into the cabinet to ensure that the slide assemblies are working correctly. The server is heavy. For safe lifting, two or more persons are required to install the server into the rack. 11 U Secure the server to the rack with screws.
