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 - Personal Injury or Equipment Damage: This procedure requires a minimum of two people because of the weight of the storage server. |
| Caution - Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that the rack will not become top-heavy and tip over. To prevent the rack from tipping during equipment installation, extend your rack's anti-tilt bar. |
- 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 [1], and then push the storage server into the rack until the mounting brackets encounter the slide-rail stops (approximately 12 inches, or 30 cm).
- Simultaneously pull down and hold the slide-rail release levers on each mounting bracket [2] while you push the storage server into the rack until the slide-rail locks (on the front of the mounting brackets) engage the slide-rail assemblies.
You will hear an audible click.
Caution - Verify that the storage server is securely mounted in the rack and that the slide-rail locks are engaged with the mounting brackets before you install the optional cable management arm.
