Installing Your Server in a Rack

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

a right-angle measuring device or object 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.

Be careful not to overtighten the flange screws. Doing so could change the shape of
the cover.

Some racks have prethreaded holes and some have square holes that take clips with
attached nuts. You may need to insert a clip (not provided with the server) into the
appropriate hole before attaching the screw.

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.
