2-4 Setting Up the System
Preparing the Mounting Bracket Assemblies
Your server mounts in the system rack using two rail assemblies. The left rail
assembly as viewed from the front of the system rack is shown in Figure 2-1.
Each rail assembly consists of two rack mounting brackets (A and B). These
pieces can be separated and adjusted. The distance between the front rack
mounting bracket (A) and the rear rack mounting bracket (B) is adjustable to fit
between the front and rear vertical rails of the system rack.

Figure 2-1. Left Rail Assembly
1. Figure 2-1 shows the left rail assembly. Referring to Figure 2-1, remove any
screws securing the front mounting bracket (A) to the rear mounting bracket
(B). Also, perform this step on the right rail assembly.
2. Select an appropriate location in the rack cabinet for the rack-mount server.
To improve rack stability, mount heavier items towards the bottom of the
rack cabinet.
Note:
When planning the server configuration for the
rack cabinet you should consider the length of the cables
that interconnect with system components.
Attaching the Mounting Bracket Assembly to the Rack
1. Attach the left side front mounting bracket to the front of the rack using two
Phillips flange head screws supplied. See Figure 2-2.
2. Attach the right side front mounting bracket to the front of the rack using
two Phillips flange head screws supplied.
