Installing the Chassis Rails

Position the fi xed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of the

chassis so that the three screw holes line up with the corresponding holes on the

chassis. Note that these two rails are left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to

the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2) with the screws provided in the rackmount

kit. Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You

will also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.

Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which

serves two functions. The fi rst 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.

also refer to the installation instructions that came with the rack unit you are using.

Be aware that there are a variety of rack units on the market, which may mean the

assembly procedure will differ slightly.

The two rail sections must be detached from each other prior to installation. Do

this by depressing the locking tab on the inner rail to release it from its locked
