NOTE: If the slide assemblies were preinstalled by Dell, you may skip this section.
Use the Dell rack template to determine where you want to install the slide assem-
blies. The rack template is the same height as the computer chassis.
You must allow 7 U (12.25inches) of vertical space for each PowerEdge system you
install in the rack (see Figure 6).
NOTE: The rails of the rack are marked by small indentations in 1-U increments (see
Figure 5).

Position the bottom of the template in line with the desired bottom position of
the computer chassis.
2. Mark the upper- and lower-mounting positions for the slide brackets and the cage
nuts as shown on the template.
