Installing the Server Into the Slide-Rail Assemblies

Use this procedure to install the server chassis, with mounting brackets, into the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted to the rack.


Caution

Caution - This procedure requires a minimum of two people because of the weight of the server. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury.



Caution

Caution - Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack will not become top-heavy and tip over. Extend your rack’s anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation.


Install Server Into the Slide-Rail Assemblies

  1. Push the slide-rails into the slide-rail assemblies on the rack as far as possible.
  2. Raise the server so that the rear ends of the mounting brackets are aligned with the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted in the rack (Inserting the Server With Mounting Brackets Into the Slide-Rails).
  3. Insert the mounting brackets into the slide-rails, then push the server into the rack until the mounting brackets encounter the slide-rail stops (approximately 12 inches, or 30 cm).

    Caution

    Caution - When inserting the server into the slide-rail, ensure that both the top and bottom mounting lips of the mounting brackets are inserted into the slide-rail. The server should slide forward and backward easily if correctly installed. If the unit does not slide easily, ensure that each mounting lip is inserted properly. If the mounting brackets are not inserted properly, the unit may fall when removing it from the rack.

  4. Simultaneously push and hold the green slide-rail release buttons (Disassembling the Slide-Rail Before Installation) on each mounting bracket while you push the server into the rack (Sliding the Server Into Rack). Continue pushing until the slide-rail locks (on the front of the mounting brackets) engage the slide-rail assemblies.

    You will hear an audible click.

    Caution

    Caution - Verify that the server is securely mounted in the rack and that the slide-rail locks are engaged with the mounting brackets before continuing.
