Attaching the Rack Mounting Bracket and
Slide Assembly to the Rack
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
equipment, be sure that the rack leveling feet are extended to the
floor and support the full weight of the rack. Each rack must be
level and stable. Racks that are not coupled together require the
installation of stabilizers. This must be done before you perform
any work on the rack.
See the Rack Planning and Installation Guide for more information
on leveling feet and stabilizers.
Measuring with the Template
The template provided with the server offers an easy and reliable way to
properly position the server in the rack. Use the tabs on the template to suspend
it from the lower hole of a two-hole set of perforations in the vertical side rails.
Pencil-mark the attachment points for the mounting bracket assemblies, the cage
nuts for the faceplate thumbscrews, and the top of the server. Use the tick marks
on the rack side rails to insure level installation of the server. See illustrations
and instructions printed on the template.
IMPORTANT: Determine the server's place in the rack before installing the
mounting bracket assemblies. To remind you of the proper placement of the
server in the rack, refer to the Rack Builder report you printed when you
planned your rack configuration. Always mount the heaviest item on the
bottom of the rack and work from the bottom to the top.
1. Starting at the bottom of the rack, or at the top of a previously mounted
component, measure the screw hole locations for the server's mounting
bracket assemblies. Pencil-mark the locations on the outside of the rack.
Do this on both the front and the back of the rack.
IMPORTANT: The template is two-sided (front and back) and printed with
arrows that show you where the screws will be inserted, both for the
mounting bracket assemblies and for the thumbscrews that will secure the
server's front bezel to the front of the rack.
Align the template carefully with the holes on the rack, to determine the
exact placement of the screws.
