Locking Tabs
Both chassis rails have a locking tab, which serves two functions. The first is to lock the server
into place when installed and pushed fully into the rack, which is its normal position. Secondly,
these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from the rack. This prevents the server
from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it out for servicing.
Installing the Server into the Rack
You should now have rails attached to both the chassis and the rack unit. The next step is to install
the server into the rack. Do this by lining up the rear of the chassis rails with the front of the rack
rails. Slide the chassis rails into the rack rails, keeping the pressure even on both sides (you may
have to depress the locking tabs when inserting the unit). See Figure 2-3 on page 15 for an
example. When the server has been pushed completely into the rack, you should hear the locking
tabs "click".
Installing the Server into a Telco Rack
To install the server into a Telco type rack, use two L-shaped brackets on either side of the chassis
(four total). First, determine how far the server will extend out the front of the rack. Larger chassis
should be positioned to balance the weight between front and back. If a bezel is included on your
server, remove it. Then attach the two front brackets to each side of the chassis, then the two rear
brackets positioned with just enough space to accommodate the width of the rack. Finish by
sliding the chassis into the rack and tightening the brackets to the rack.
