Installing the Outer Rails

Begin by measuring the distance from the front rail to the rear rail of the

rack. Attach a short bracket to the front side of the right outer rail and a

long bracket to the rear side of the right outer rail. Adjust both the short

and long brackets to the proper distance so that the rail can fit snugly into

the rack. Secure the short bracket to the front side of the outer rail with

two M4 screws and the long bracket to the rear side of the outer rail with

three M4 screws. Repeat these steps for the left outer rail.

Locking Tabs

Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The

first is to lock the server into place when installed and pushed fully into the

rack, which is its normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server

in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server from

coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
