Install the Storage Server Into the Slide-Rail Assemblies

Language:

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 - Personal Injury or Equipment Damage: 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 the rack anti-tilt bar.

Push the slide-rails as far as possible into the slide-rail assemblies in the rack.
Position the storage server so that the back 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 are flush with the slide-rail stops (approximately 30 cm, or 12 inches).
