Use this procedure to install the server chassis, with mounting brackets, into the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted to the rack.
Caution - This procedure requires a minimum of two people because of the weight of the server. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury. |
Caution - Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack will not become top-heavy and tip over. Extend your rack’s anti-tip bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation. |
Caution - When inserting the server into the slide-rail, ensure that both the top and bottom mounting lips of the mounting brackets are inserted into the slide-rail. The server should slide forward and backward easily if correctly installed. If the unit does not slide easily, ensure that each mounting lip is inserted properly. If the mounting brackets are not inserted properly, the unit may fall when removing it from the rack. |
