Installing the Server In a Rack

This section describes how to install the server in a rack.

Warning To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure your safety:

This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.

When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.

If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the unit in the rack.

Statement 1006

To install the slide rails and the server into a rack, follow these steps:

Step 1 Open the front securing latch (see Figure 2-2). The end of the slide-rail assembly marked “FRONT” has a spring-loaded securing latch that must be open before you can insert the mounting pegs into the rack-post holes.

a.On the rear side of the securing-latch assembly, hold open the clip marked “PULL.”

b.Slide the spring-loaded securing latch away from the mounting pegs.

c.Release the clip marked “PULL” to lock the securing latch in the open position.
