Return the Server to the Normal Rack Position

  1. Release the slide rails from the fully extended position by pushing the release tabs on the side of each rail.
    image:Figure showing the release tabs on the sliding rack rail.
  2. While pushing on the release tabs, slowly push the server into the rack.

    Ensure that the cables do not get in the way.

  3. Reconnect the cables to the back of the server.

    If the CMA is in the way, disconnect the left CMA release and swing the CMA open.

  4. Reconnect the CMA.

    Swing the CMA closed and latch it to the left rack rail.
