Verify Operation of Slide-Rails and CMA

Use the following procedure to ensure that the slide-rails and CMA are operating correctly.

1. To prevent the rack from tipping forward when the server is extended, extend all rack anti-tilt devices.

   ---

   Caution - To reduce the risk of personal injury, stabilize the expansion rack cabinet and extend all anti-tilt devices before extending the server from the rack.

   ---

   For instructions for stabilizing the rack, see Stabilize the Rack for Installation.

2. Slowly pull the server out of the rack until the slide-rails reach their stops.
3. Inspect the attached cables for any binding or kinks.
4. Verify that the CMA extends fully with the slide-rails.
5. Push the server back into the rack, as described in the following steps.
   1. Simultaneously pull and hold the two green release tabs (one on each side of of the server) toward the front of the server (see the following figure) while you push the server into the rack. As you push the server into the rack, verify that the CMA retracts without binding.

      ---

      Note - To pull the green release tab, place your finger in the center of the tab, not on the end, and apply pressure as you pull the tab toward the front of the server.

   2. Continue pushing the server into the rack until the slide-rail locks (on the front of the server) engage the slide-rail assemblies.

      You will hear an audible click when the server is in the normal rack position.

6. Adjust the cable straps and the CMA, as required.
