Installing the server in the rack

Before you begin

Attach rails to the rack.

Procedure

  1. Pull the slide rails forward until they click, two times, into place. See 1 in Figure 1.
  2. Carefully lift the server and tilt it into position over the slide rails so that the rear nail heads on the server line up with the rear slots on the slide rails. See 2 and 3 in Figure 1.
  3. Slide the server down until the rear nail heads slip into the two rear slots.
  4. Slowly lower the front of the server until the other nail heads slip into the other slots on the slide rails. See 4 in Figure 1.
  5. Make sure that the front latch slides over the nail heads. See 5 in Figure 1.
