3.9 Rack View

3.9.1Sliding Rails

The PowerEdge R515 sliding rails are a stab-in design, meaning that the inner chassis rail members must first be attached to the sides of the system prior to inserting them into the middle (intermediate) and outer cabinet rail members installed in the rack.

The CMA can be mounted to either side of the rails without the use of tools or the need for conversion, but it is recommended that it be mounted on the side opposite the power supplies to allow easier access to the power supplies for service or replacement.

See Figure 8 and Figure 9 for views of the R515 mounted in the B3 sliding rails.
