Attach Slide Rail Assemblies to the Rack
Use the rackmount installation card to identify
the correct mounting holes for the slide rails.
Note - Load the rack from bottom to top.
-
Unpack the mounting brackets and installation card from the rackmount kit.
See Install the Rackmount Hardware.
- Ensure
that there is enough vertical space in the cabinet to install the
server.
See Rack Compatibility.
- Place the rackmount installation
card against the front rails.
The bottom edge of the card corresponds to the bottom edge
of the server. Measure up from the bottom of the installation card.
- Mark the mounting holes for the
front slide rails.
- Mark the mounting holes for the
rear slide rails.
- Orient
the slide rail assembly so that the ball-bearing track is forward
and locked in place.
