Chapter 3

Installing Your Server in a Rack

Be careful not to overtighten the flange screws. Doing so could change the shape of
the cover. Take special care if you are using a power screwdriver or drill.

Some racks have prethreaded holes and some have square holes that take clips with
attached nuts. You may need to insert a clip into the appropriate hole before attaching
the screw. Several of these clips, also called “cage nuts,” are included with the mounting
hardware.

At the back of the server, position the small bracket inside the server’s cover so that the
head of one rivet is facing the side of the cover.

Note: Start on the left side of the server (when facing the back). This makes installing
the cable-management arm more efficient.

Attach the cover to the two
front rack posts using four
of the screws provided.

Temporarily place the
mounting template over
the two posts on the cover.

Some racks have
prethreaded holes.

Other racks use various
types of nuts to secure
equipment.
