2.2.3.2 Installing the Rack Assembly

After preparing for installation, you next install the rack assembly to hold the new servers.

1. Position a mounting bracket against the chassis so that the slide-rail lock is at the server front, and the five keyhole openings on the mounting bracket are aligned with the five locating pins on the side of the chassis.

2. Orient the slide-rail assembly so that the ball-bearing track is forward and locked in place.

3. Starting on either side of the rack, align the rear of the slide-rail assembly against the inside of the rear rack rail, and push until the assembly locks into place with an audible click.
