Securing the Server in a Rack
c
You should have someone helping you lift the Avid Motion Graphics Server while you are
positioning it into the slide rails.
To secure the Avid Motion Graphics Server to the rack enclosure:
1. Lift and position the Avid Motion Graphics Server so that the inner slide rails (secured to the
Avid Motion Graphics Server) align with the outer slide rails secured to the rack.
2. Push the front of the Avid Motion Graphics Server flush against the front mounting rail. The
holes in the Avid Motion Graphics Server front panel align with the holes in the front
mounting rail.
3. From the front of the rack enclosure, insert the large screws through the Avid Motion
Graphics Server and front mounting rail, and tighten.

You can use your own rack hardware if your rack has square holes or unique fasteners.
