2-18Server Installation Overview

6.Fully extend the inner slides from the front of each outer bracket rail Œ. With these pieces extended, a screw hole towards the rear, aligns in the rack mounting bracket and the outer bracket rail for each assembly.

7.Fasten the outer bracket rail to the rack mounting bracket with a 8-32 x 1/4-inch slotted screw. Do not tighten screws until all three screws have been lined up on each assembly. (Do not use nuts or washers with the screw.) See step of the following figure. Repeat for the second assembly.

8.Push in the inner slide on each set Ž till about only 1 1/2-inches remains extended. Push in the locking clip on the slide if it keeps the rail from sliding in. This allows access to the next screw hole. The hole is towards the front of the outer bracket aligns through the outer bracket rail and the rack mounting bracket. Use one more 8-32 x 1/4-inch slotted screw to fasten the outer bracket rail to the rack mounting bracket . See steps of the following figure. Repeat for the second assembly.

9.Fully extend the inner slides from the front of each outer bracket rail. Also fully extend towards the front the ball bearing slide located in the inner slide . With these pieces extended, a screw hole towards the center aligns in the rack mounting bracket and the outer bracket rail for each assembly.

10.Fasten the outer bracket rail to the rack mounting bracket with a 8-32 x 1/4-inch slotted screw. (Do not use nuts or washers with the screw.) See step of the following figure. Repeat for the second assembly.

The following figure shows inserting the screws into the appropriate holes. The screws line up with the holes in the rack mounting bracket.

CAUTION: The outer bracket rails must be mounted on the inside holes of the rack mounting bracket or the server will sit too high in the rack.
