The server can be installed with either of two types of rack mount kits:
Screw-mount (tooled) rack mount kit
Snap-in (tool-less) rack mount kit
Both kit types consist of a pair of slide rails that attach to the rack corner posts and a pair of mounting brackets that attach to the server chassis. The diffence between them is that the screw-mount slide rails are attached to the rack posts using screws and the snap-in rails are attached with screwless clips.
Each screw-mount slide rail assembly consists of a three-section slide rail and a removable mounting bracket. These components can be installed on either side of the chassis.
Figure 8 Sections of the Screw-Mount Slide Rail Assembly
1 Mounting bracket
2 Front section
3 Middle section
4 Rear section
The middle and rear sections have holes for attaching to the rack posts. They adjust to fit rack depths from 24 in. (61 cm) to 36.5 in. (93 cm).
The front section extends out of the middle section, which allows the server to be postioned far enough out of the rack for many service operationsto be performed.
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) before separating from the slide rail.
That there are five locks in a slide rail assembly. Four are on the mounting bracket. One lock is on the front section of the slide rail. The locks are described in Installing the Server.
Figure 9 Locating the Locks on the Screw-Mount Slide Rail Assembly
Each snap-in slide rail assembly consists of a three-section slide rail and a removable mounting bracket. The slide rail attaches to the rack posts. The mounting bracket attaches to the server chassis.

4 Rear section
The slide rails adjust to fit rack depths from 24 in. (61 cm) to 36.5 in. (93 cm). The middle and rear sections of the slide rails have holes for mounting the rail to the rack posts. The front section extends out of the middle section, which allows the server to be postioned far enough out of the rack for many service operationsto be performed.
The removable mounting bracket slides 14.5 in. (37 cm) out of the slide rail, then locks in place. If you unlock the mounting bracket at this point, it slides an additional 14.5 in. (37 cm) before separating from the slide rail.
There are six locks in a slide rail assembly. Four are on the mounting bracket. Two locks are on the slide rail.
