Install the Storage Server Into the Slide-Rail Assemblies
Use this procedure to install the storage 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 storage server. Attempting this procedure alone could result in equipment damage or personal injury. |
| Caution - Extend your rack's anti-tilt bar to prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation. |
- Push the slide-rails into the slide-rail assemblies in the rack as far as possible.
- Position the storage server so that the rear ends of the mounting brackets are aligned with the slide-rail assemblies that are mounted in the rack.
-
Insert the mounting brackets into the slide-rails, and then push the storage
server into the rack until the mounting brackets encounter the slide-rail stops
(approximately 12 inches, or 30 cm).
