Rack Mounting MAX Servers
63 MAX Servers: HT Home Theater and MMS Multimedia Servers
Step 1: Prepare the Slide Rail Assemblies
The two Outer Slide Rails, and two Inner Server Rails come assembled in the rack rail hardware kit. You
must separate these pieces before beginning. The Inner Server Rails will be attached to the MMS
chassis.
To detach the server rails from the slide rail assemblies:
1. Place the two slide rail assemblies on a flat surface.
2. Extend the Inner Server Rail from the slide rail assembly until the Inner Server Rail release latch
clicks and locks.
3. Holding down the latch on the back side of the Inner Server Rail, slip the server rail out of the inner
slide.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for the second slide rail assembly.
Set the Inner Server Rails aside. You will attach them to the MMS chassis (as described in the next
section).
Step 2: Attach the Inner Server Rails to the MMS chassis
The inner slide rails attach to the MMS server chassis, with the locking Release Tab facing out from the
server, as indicated in FIG. 54.
Slide the notched end of the rail under the tab in the front of the server and screw into place towards the
rear of the rail using the small/short screws (four per side).
Step 3: Attach the Extension Brackets to the Outer Rails
The Extension Brackets attach to the outer rails (using the 3-hole locking plates). You will choose either
the Short Extension Brackets, or the Long Extension Brackets, depending on the depth of the rack you
are mounting the MMS into.
1. Attach the Extension Bracket to the Outer Rail using the small/long screws and a 3-hole Locking
Plate, as shown in FIG. 55. Select the type of locking plate (large or small holes) that works best
with the rack you are using.
Depending on the type of rack you are using, you may need to use Extension Brackets on the
front of the server as well.
2. The feet of the Extension Bracket are placed at the end of the rail. The type of cabinet/rack you are
using will dictate whether the Extension Bracket feet should point in towards the server or out
towards the rack.
3. Repeat the process for the opposite Outer Rail.
