Lenovo ThinkServer RD530 - Manual (Page 6)

Installing your server into a rack cabinet using the rail kit
Before you begin, remove all the parts from the rail kit package and lay all the parts on a working surface.
See “Rail kit package” on page 4 . The length of each slide rail ranges from 65 cm (25.6 inches) when
collapsed to 90 cm (35.4 inches) when fully extended. Measure the rack before the installation to ensure that
the rack can accommodate the slide rail.
Attention: Do not open your server or attempt any repair before reading and understanding the “Guidelines”
on page 1 .
To install the server into a rack cabinet using the rail kit, do the following:
1. Install the rail kit by doing the following:
a. On a rear mounting flange of the right side of the rack cabinet, select a proper rack mounting area
for the right slide rail. Position the rear end of the right slide rail to the mounting area so that the
tabs on the rear end of the right slide rail are aligned with the corresponding holes in the mounting
area. Push the right slide rail in the direction as shown in the figure until the rear end of the right
slide rail is firmly secured to the mounting flange.
Note: The holes in a mounting flange are separated into groups by measuring marks. The three
holes between two adjacent measuring marks form a group, which indicates 1U space. Note the
measuring marks on a mounting flange to help you correctly select a rack mounting area for the
server. For more information about the placement of the holes in a mounting flange, refer to the
documentation that comes with the rack cabinet.
