Installing the Tool-Less Rail Solution in the Rack

NOTE:

The rack rails are marked LEFT and RIGHT. The rail marked "LEFT" attaches

to the left rack posts and the rail marked "RIGHT" attaches to the right rack posts

when facing the front of the rack.

NOTE:

The rail pegs must be flush with the rack posts to install properly.

1 Determine where to place the rails in the rack. Make sure there is enough

space in the rack for the 4U server enclosure. In a standard rack, the height

of a 4U chassis will span 12 rack post holes.

2 Use the marking indicated on the left and right sides of the rail to orient

the rail correctly to the rack posts.

3 Attach the left rail and stopping bracket to the rack.

a

Position left rail marked "LEFT" to align with its mounting holes on the

rack posts.

b

Press and hold the rail release button to open the latch on the front

end of the rail. See Figure 4-1.

c

Align the three pegs with the mounting holes on the front rack post.

See Figure 4-1.

d

Release the button when it engages to the front rack post.

See Figure 4-1.

NOTE:

Make sure the rail release button is engaged correctly.

NOTE:

The rails can be used in both square-hole and round-hole racks.
