How to Insert the Server Into the Rack

The following procedure explains how to insert the server into the rack and on to the shelf rail assemblies on the rack.

Before You Begin

Perform the steps in How to Install the Rack Mounting Hardware in the Rack.

  1. Lift the server to its position on the rack.

    The use of a lift is recommended.


    Caution

    Caution - The server weighs 180 pounds (82 kg). To reduce the risk of serious personal injury or equipment damage, use a mechanical lift to install the server into the rack. If a lift is not available, remove components as instructed in How to Remove Components to Reduce Weight and use two persons to lift the server into place.


  2. Slide the server onto the shelf rails.


    Caution

    Caution - Drop Hazard! Do not release the server until it is more than 6 inches (152 mm) into the rack, and is firmly supported by the shelf rails. The shelf rails will not support the server until it is more than 6 inches (152 mm) inside the rack.

  3. Use four screws to attach the front of the server to the front of the rack.

    Use either the M6 x 25, or the 10-32 x 1 screws.

    • On a threaded rack, use four M6 x 25, or four 10-32 x 1 screws.

    • On a square-hole rack, use four M6 x 25 screws.
