11.Slide the server chassis all the way into the rack.

12.Use the rack screws (#10-32 x 3/4) to secure the chassis and rack handles into the rack.

Tool-less Rail Rack Mount Servicing

1.To service the system, pull the system out from the rack.

2.Disconnect the power cable(s) and proceed with servicing the system.

3.When the servicing is completed, re-connect the power cable(s).

4.Pull up on the green tabs on each rail and slide the system back into the rack.

Note: Beware of cables when re-installing the system into the rack so that the cables do not get pulled or interfered with.

Removing and Installing the Front Bezel

The front bezels are available as optional accessories for the Intel® Server System SR2500ALLX and/or the Intel® Server System SR2500ALBRP. Two front bezel options are available. One is used for the standard control panel and the other is used with the Intel® Local Control Panel. See the diagrams below to identify your front bezel. Note the orientation in the figures below - the control panel is at the right. If you are installing a bezel on your server system, make sure you position it as shown.
