Installing the Chassis Rails
Position the fixed chassis rail sections you just removed along the side of 
the chassis making sure the fi ve screw holes line up. Note that these two rails are 
left/right specifi c. Screw the rail securely to the side of the chassis (see Figure 2-2). 
Repeat this procedure for the other rail on the other side of the chassis. You will 
also need to attach the rail brackets when installing into a telco rack.
Locking Tabs: As you have seen, both chassis rails have a locking tab, which 
serves two functions. The fi rst 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 Rack Rails
Determine where you want to place the server in the rack (see Rack and Server 
Precautions in Section 2-3). Position the fi xed rack rail/sliding rail guide assemblies 
at the desired location in the rack, keeping the sliding rail guide facing the inside 
of the rack. Screw the assembly securely to the rack using the brackets provided. 
Attach the other assembly to the other side of the rack, making sure that both are 
at the exact same height and with the rail guides facing inward.
