Installing the server into a rack cabinet
To install the server into a rack cabinet, do the following:
1. Remove all the parts from the rail kit package shipped with your server and lay all the parts on a working
surface. See “Rail kit package” on page 3.
2. The stretching range of an outer rail is 60 cm (23.6 inches) to 82 cm (32.3 inches). Measure the rack
before the installation to ensure that the rack can accommodate the outer rail.
3. For each slide rail, separate the inner rail from the outer rail by doing the following:
Note: Slide the rails straight out and do not twist the rails when separating them.
