Verifying Operation of the Slide-rails and CMA

Use this procedure to ensure that the slide-rails and CMA are operating correctly.

Note – Two people are recommended for this procedure: one to move the server in and out of the rack, and one to observe the cables and CMA.

1.Slowly pull the server out of the rack until the slide-rails reach their stops.

2.Inspect the attached cables for any binding or kinks.

3.Verify that the CMA extends fully from the slide-rails.

4.Push the server back into the rack, as described in the following sub-steps.

When the server is fully extended, you must release two sets of slide-rail stops to return the server to the rack:

a.The first set of stops are levers, located on the inside of each slide-rail, just behind the back panel of the server. These levers are labeled “PUSH.” Push in both levers simultaneously and slide the server toward the rack.

The server will slide in approximately 18 inches (46 cm) and stop.

Verify that the cables and the CMA retract without binding before you continue.

b.The second set of stops are the slide-rail release buttons, located near the front of each mounting-bracket. See FIGURE 2-6. Simultaneously push or pull both of the slide-rail release buttons, and push the server completely into the rack until both slide-rail locks engage.

5.Adjust the cable straps and CMA as required.
