Chapter 2 Installing the Server

Installing the Server In a Rack

b.Push the server into the slide rails until it stops at the internal stops.

c.Push in the plastic release clip on each inner rail (labelled PUSH), and then continue pushing the server into the rack until its front latches engage the rack posts.

Step 4 Attach the (optional) cable management arm (CMA) to the rear of the slide rails:

Note The CMA is designed for mounting on either the right or left slide rails. These instructions describe an installation to the rear of the right slide rails, as viewed from the rear of server.

a.Slide the plastic clip on the inner CMA arm over the flange on the mounting bracket that attached to the side of the server. See Figure 2-4.

Note Whether you are mounting the CMA to the left or right slide rails, be sure to orient the engraved marking, “UP” so that it is always on the upper side of the CMA. See Figure 2-4.

b.Slide the plastic clip on the outer CMA arm over the flange on the slide rail. See Figure 2-4.

c.Attach the CMA retaining bracket to the left slide rail. Slide the plastic clip on the bracket over the flange on the end of the left slide rail. See Figure 2-4.
