Once you’ve marked the exact position for the server on the rack, you’re ready to attach the
server. Here is an overview of the procedure.
m Connect the cover of the server to the front of the rack.
m Assemble the rear mounting hardware.
m Connect the rear mounting hardware to the server enclosure.
m Slide the server into the cover and secure it.
m Install the cable-management arm.
Note: You cannot use the cable-management arm in a short rack, 24 or 26 inches deep.
For details on installing the server in a short rack, see “Installing the Server in a Short
Four-Post Rack” on page 42.
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.
Have someone support the
center of the cover while you
attach it to the rack.
