Chapter 3

Installing Your Server in a Rack

3

Just beyond the rear post of the rack, position the short-rack bracket beside the cover
so that the small pin on the bracket fits into the oblong hole closest to the post.

The small pin on the bracket faces inward, toward the cover, and it is near the top of
the bracket. The L-shaped flange at one end of the bracket faces away from the cover
and is close to the rack’s rear post.

Note: One of the short-rack brackets is designed for the left side of the cover and the
other fits the right side. Be sure to use the correct bracket on each side.

4

Insert one short screw through the top hole in the bracket and use it to fasten the
bracket to the cover. Do not tighten the screw all the way.

Be sure that you can still move the bracket back and forth.

Insert the pin on the short-rack bracket into one of the oblong
holes in the cover. There are two places to attach the short-rack
bracket; use the one that best fits your rack.

Each short-rack bracket is designed to be used on only one side of the cover.
Orient the right short-rack bracket (as viewed from the front of the system) as shown.
The left short-rack bracket is inserted on the other side of the cover.

Insert one short screw through the top hole in each short-rack bracket and tighten the bracket snugly
against the top cover. Do not tighten the screws completely—leave them loose enough so that you
can adjust the short-rack bracket slightly if you need to. You’ll tighten these screws completely later.
