Installing the Rack Model in a Rack Enclosure

Installing the Server in the Rack Enclosure

In this section, you will use the following parts:

Four long screws (M6 by 16 mm)
Two cage nuts
One cable-management arm

Cable ties

To install the server into the rack enclosure:

1. If you have not done so already, install a cage nut in each front mounting rail in

the marked positions, as shown.

2. Position the Netfinity 5000 server horizontally, with the 3.5-inch drive bays on

the top.

3. Align the inner slides on the sides of the server with the slide rails; then, slide

the server onto the outer slide, until the slide rails click into place.

Note: When the rack model is fully extended, safety latches on the slide rails

lock into place. This prevents the server from being accidentally pulled
out too far and dropped. To release the safety latch, press in.

4. Press the safety latches and slide the rack model about halfway into the rack

enclosure.
