Installing the Mounting Brackets Onto the Server

You must install the mounting brackets onto the server before you can rackmount the server.

Install Mounting Brackets

To install the mounting brackets onto the sides of the server:

1. Position a mounting bracket against the chassis so that the slide-rail lock is at the server front, and the five keyhole openings on the mounting bracket are aligned with the five locating pins on the side of the chassis (Aligning the Mounting Bracket With the Server Chassis).

   ---

   Note - The mounting brackets are identical and can be installed on either side of the chassis.

2. With the heads of the five chassis locating pins protruding though the five keyhole openings in the mounting bracket, pull the mounting bracket toward the front of the chassis until the mounting bracket clip locks into place with an audible click (Aligning the Mounting Bracket With the Server Chassis).
3. Verify that the rear locating pin has engaged the mounting bracket clip.
4. Repeat to install the remaining mounting bracket on the other side of the server.
