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 Install the slide rails into the rack:
Tip Use two people to help keep the slide rails and server level during installation. You can use a tape
measure and level or count the holes in the rack posts to ensure that the slide rails and server are level.
a. Align the slide-rail assembly inside the rack posts with the length-adjustment bracket (item 4)
toward the rear of the rack (see Figure 2-2).
b. Compress the length-adjustment bracket until the mounting pegs (item 6) and locking clips (item 5)
on the slide-rail assembly engage the desired rack holes on the front and rear rack posts.
If your rack has #10-32 rack-post holes, align the mounting pegs with the holes and then compress
the spring-loaded pegs to expose the #10-32 inner peg.
