Chapter 3

Installing Your Server in a Rack

33

Follow these steps to attach the server to the rack.

1

Keep the cover of the enclosure level and support it from the center as you slide it into
the rack at the desired position.

Important:

Work with someone else to make sure the cover is supported and square to

the rack. The cover must be installed level to avoid changing its shape before the
screws are inserted to hold it in place.

2

Screw the flanges at the front of the cover to the front posts of the rack.

Important:

Make sure that the cover of the system is at right angles to both posts. Use

the mounting template provided with the system or a right-angle measuring device to
determine that the cover is square to the posts on both sides. If the cover is not
installed squarely, its shape may change slightly and the cover may not hold the server
in the correct position.

Have someone support the
center of the cover while you
attach it to the rack.
