Slide Rail Assembly Notes for Both Servers The rackmounting kit has two slide rail assemblies. A slide rail assembly can be installed on either the right or left side of the rack. Note – The slide rail assemblies are different for the T5120 and T5220 servers. The removable mounting bracket of the SPARC Enterprise T5120 rails slides 13 in.
Page 28
The front, middle, and rear sections form the slide rail. The middle and rear sections ■ have holes for mounting screws, and adjust to fit rack depths from 24 in. (61 cm) to 36.5 in. (93 cm). The front section can be extended to allow movement of the server out of the rack.

Installing the Servers With the Express Rail Rackmounting Kit This section provides instructions for installing the servers in an equipment rack with express (snap-in) rails. The express rail rackmounting kit installs quickly, and does not require mounting screws or nuts. The kit and the installation procedures are the same for both the SPARC Enterprise T5120 and T5220 servers.
Slide Rail Assembly Notes for the Express Rail Rackmounting Kit The express rail rackmounting kit has two slide rail assemblies. A slide rail assembly can be installed on either the right or left side of the rack. Each slide rail assembly consists of a three-section slide rail and a removable mounting bracket.
Page 87
The removable mounting bracket slides 14.5 in. (37 cm) out of the slide rail, then ■ locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket at this point, it slides an additional 14.5 in. (37 cm) before separating from the slide rail. You can then mount the mounting bracket to the right or left side of the server chassis.
