Position the server in the rack, as shown in the following figure.

Figure 2-21. Using thumbscrews to secure the positioned server in the rack

Secure the server faceplate to the front of the rack by fastening the

thumbscrews into the cage nuts.

Before closing the rack door, tighten the thumbscrews to prevent the

door from hitting any protruding thumbscrews.

IMPORTANT:

When servicing the server, fully extend the component until the latches

lock. To return the server to the rack, press the latches and slide the server into the rack.

Attaching the Cable Management Arm

Each server ships with a double-hinged cable management arm with fasteners.

The cable management arm attaches to the server’s cable management arm

bracket and to the rear frame of the rack. All cables leading 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 rear

connectors or the hot-plug power supply.

For easier handling, first slide the server into the rack, then attach the

cable management arm to the cable management arm server bracket

using two M6 x 1.0-12L Phillips screws as shown in the following

figure.

NOTE:

If you attach the arm before loading the server in the rack, the arm may swing

around and interfere with the loading process.
