COMPAQ CONFIDENTIAL - NEED TO KNOW REQUIRED

WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, be careful
when pressing the component rail release latches and sliding the
component into the rack. The slide rails could pinch your
fingertips.

3. Depress the component rail release latch on either side of the server and

slide the server into the rack.

IMPORTANT: The first time you slide the component into the rack, you
may have to apply some pressure. After the first time, the ball bearings in the
slide will move easily.

IMPORTANT: When servicing the server, fully extend the component until
the latches lock. To return the server to the rack, depress the latches and
slide the server into the rack.

4. Secure the server face plate to the front of the rack by screwing the

thumbscrews into the cage nuts.

5. Tighten the thumbscrews before you close the rack door to prevent the

door from hitting protruding thumbscrews.

Attaching the Cable
Management Arm

A double-hinged cable management arm and fasteners ship with each server.
The cable management arm attaches to the server's cable management arm
bracket and to the rear frame of the rack. All cables to and from the server are
tied to this arm. The two hinges allow the cable management arm with attached
cables to swing out of the way when you need to access the server pull-out
trays.
