Apple Xserve (Slot Load) - Manual (Page 43)

Installing Your Server in a Rack 43
2 Screw the flanges at the front of the cover to the front posts of the rack.
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.
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.
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.
