How to Verify the Operation of the Slide Rails

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

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. Push the server back into the rack.

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

   1. 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 slides in approximately 38 cm (15 in.) and stops.

      Verify that the cables retract without binding before continuing.

   2. The second set of stops are the slide rail release buttons, located near the front of each mounting bracket. 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.
4. Adjust the cable hangers as required.
