Index

Install a Server (19-Inch, 2-Post Sliding Rail Rackmount Kit)


Note - The 19-inch, 2-post sliding rail rackmount kit supports rack web thicknesses (the width of the rack post) of 76.20 mm (3 in.), 101.6 mm (4 in.), and 127 mm (5 in.).



Note - The front-to-back rail spacing must be at least 392 mm (15.43 in.) and not more than 863.6 mm (34 in.) from the outside face of the front rail to the outside face of the back rail.


  1. Read the Cautions for racks.

    See Rack Cautions.

  2. Press in the green button on each slide assembly, and pull the right side and left side inner glides completely out of the slides.
    image:Figure showing how to dismantle the slide.

    Slide (in two parts)
  3. Using eight of the M4 x 0.5 x 5 mm Phillips panhead screws from the rackmount kit (four for each side), attach each glide to the side of the server chassis.
    image:Figure showing where to install glides to the server chassis.
  4. Lift each front bracket to the desired position at the front of the rack and attach a front bracket to each of the front rack posts.

    To secure each bracket, use two of the M5 x 12.7 mm screws or two of the M6 x 13 mm screws. Tighten the screws enough to secure the brackets, but leave them loose enough for adjustment later.


    image:Figure showing where to install front brackets to the rack posts.
  5. Lift each rear bracket to the desired position at the rear of the rack and attach a rear bracket to each of the rear rack posts.

    To secure each bracket, use two of the M5 x 12.7 mm screws or two of the M6 x 13 mm screws, as you did in Step 4. Tighten the screws enough to secure the brackets, but leave them loose enough for adjustment later.


    image:Figure showing how to secure the rear brackets to the rack posts.

    Note - If your rack has 10–32 holes, use the 10–32 collar screws and 10–32 threaded strips.


  6. Align the glides attached to the server with the slide assemblies in the rack.

    You might find that there is too much or too little room between the two slides mounted in the rack. Consequently the glides attached to the server might not align correctly with the slides in the rack. If either situation occurs, loosen the screws on the front and back brackets (Step 4 and Step 5), move the brackets inward or outward to the appropriate points, then tighten the brackets again.

  7. Push in the slide buttons and slide the server all the way into the rack enclosure.
    image:Figure showing how to slide the server into a rack.
  8. Fully tighten the screws on the front brackets.
    image:Figure showing how to tighten the front bracket screws.
  9. Fully tighten the screws on the rear brackets.
    image:Figure showing how to tighten the rear bracket screws.
  10. Attach the CMA to the right rail on the right side.

    There are labels on both the rails and the CMA. The CMA side that has an arrow attaches to the right inner glide. The other side of the CMA attaches to the outer member.


    image:Figure showing how to attach right side cable management arm.
  11. Attach the CMA to the left rail.

    There are labels on both the rails and the CMA. The CMA side that has an arrow attaches to the left inner glide. The other side of the CMA attaches to the outer member.


    image:Figure showing how to attach left side cable management arm.
