Figure Legend
1
Top rear braces
These attach to the posts at the upper back of the server.
2, 3
Left (2) and right (3) shelf rails
Once the front and rear adapter brackets are installed on the rack, the shelf rails drop into place. The hooks on the rails hook into the slots on the front and rear brackets.

The shelf rails expand to match the depth of the rack.

These are not slide rails. Once the server is mounted in the chassis, it does not move.

An assortment of M6 and 10-32 screws

The screws are packaged by size and type. They include:

  • 12 – M6 X 16

  • 12 – M6 X 12

  • 4 – M6 X 4 flathead

  • 4 – 10-32 X 10

  • 12 – 10-32 shoulder screws

Oracle provides extra screws to support different configurations. Unused hardware can be discarded or recycled when you have completed the installation.
5
Adapter brackets (2 sets of four each)
These attach to the rack and support the shelf rails.

There are two sets of adapter brackets: one for round-hole racks, and another for square-hole racks. Use the set that matches your rack.

M6 cage nuts
Used to attach the top rear braces to square-hole racks.
