Attaching the Mounting Bracket
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 face-plate 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 you start
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.
