FIGURE1-7 Sectionsof the Slide Rail Assembly on the SPARC Enterprise T5240 Server
■The front,middle,and rear sections form the slide rail. The middle and rear sections
have holes for mounting screws, and adjust to fit rack depths from 24 in. (61 cm)
to 36.5in. (93 cm). The front section can be extended to allow movement of the
server out of the rack.
■The removable mounting bracket slides 14 in. (35.5 cm) out of the slide rail, then
locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket at this point, it slides an
additional 12 in. (30 cm) beforeseparating from the slide rail. You can then mount
the mounting bracket to the right or left side of the server chassis.
■Note that there are a total of five locks (FIGURE1-8) in a slide rail assembly. Four
are on the mounting bracket. One lock is on the frontsection of the slide rail. The
installation procedure in Chapter2 describes the uses of these locks.
