Rack Installation Instructions
Review the documentation that comes with your rack cabinet for safety and cabling information. When
installing your server in a rack cabinet, consider the following:
v Ensure the room air temperature is below 35°C (95°F).
v Install the server only in a rack cabinet that has perforated doors.
v Do not block any air vents, usually 15 cm (6 in.) of air space provides proper airflow.
v Plan the device installation starting from the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Install the heaviest device in the bottom of the rack cabinet.
v Do not leave open space above or below an installed server in your rack cabinet. To help prevent
damage to server components, always install a filler panel to cover the open space and to help ensure
proper air circulation.
v Do not extend more than one device out of the rack cabinet at the same time.
v Connect all power cords to properly wired and grounded electrical outlets.
v Do not overload the power outlet when installing multiple devices in the rack.
v Remove the rack doors and side panels to provide easier access during installation.
v The slide rails in this kit come preset to the correct length for installation in an IBM rack cabinet and
they are adjustable for other rack cabinets.
v The slide rails are marked (RIGHT/FRONT and LEFT/FRONT) for proper placement on the
rack-cabinet flanges.
Use safe practices when lifting.
≥18 kg (39.7 lb)
≥32 kg (70.5 lb)
≥55 kg (121.2 lb)
Do not place any object weighing more than
50 kg (110 lb) on top of rack-mounted devices.
≥50 kg (110 lb)
This server does not require any tools for installation, unless you are shipping the server in a rack. When
you are shipping the server in a rack, you will need a Philips screwdriver. The following illustration
shows the items that you need to install the server in a rack cabinet. If any items are missing or
damaged, contact your place of purchase.
1 Cable straps 4 M6 screws (for shipping and vibration-prone areas)
2 Slide rail 5 Shipping bracket
3 Front of rail 6 Rear of rail

Press on the rail-adjustment bracket 1 on the rear
of the slide rail to prevent the bracket from moving.
Then, press on tab 2 and tab 3 and slide the
rail-locking carrier toward the front of the slide rail
until it snaps into place. Press on tab 2 and tab
3 on the front rail-locking carrier and slide the
rail-locking carrier toward the rear of the slide until
it snaps into place.
Lift the release tab 1 and fully extend the
rail-adjustment bracket from the rear of the slide
rail until it snaps into place, if you need to adjust
the slide-rail length.
Align the pins on the rear rail-locking carrier with
the holes on the rear mounting flange. Then, press
the tab 2 to secure the rear of the slide rail to the
rear mounting flange.
Important: Ensure that the pins are fully extended
through the mounting flange and slide rail.

Align the pins 1 on the front rail-locking carrier
to the front mounting flange. If you adjusted the
rail length, push the rail-locking carrier back toward
the rear of the slide rail to align the slide rail with
the mounting flange 3. Then, press the tab 2 to
secure the front of the slide rail to the front
mounting flange.
Important: Ensure that the pins 1 are fully
extended through the mounting flange and the slide
rail.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other slide rail.
4 Pins extended through the mounting flange and
slide rail
5 Pins not extended through the mounting flange
and slide rail
If you plan to transport the rack cabinet to another
location with the server installed, remove the large
screw1 and discard it. Remove and save the front
screw 2and loosen the other two screws3. Then,
fully extend the rail and insert the screw you saved
into the position where the large screw 1 had
been located. Tighten all screws to secure the rail.
Repeat this step for the other rail.
If you do not plan to transport the rack cabinet to
another location with the server installed, continue
with step 5.

Align the server on the slide rails and push the
server fully into the rack cabinet. Secure the server
to the front mounting flanges with the captive
thumbscrews 1.
Note: You must leave the shipping brackets 2
attached to the slide rails unless the shipping
brackets impede the server from sliding fully in the
rack cabinet. If you need to remove the shipping
brackets, continue with the next step.
Press on the release tab 1 as indicated on the
shipping bracket, and remove the shipping bracket
from the slide rail. Repeat this step for the other
shipping bracket. Store the shipping brackets for
future use.
Note: You must reinstall the shipping brackets on
the slide rails before you transport the rack cabinet
with the server installed. To reinstall the shipping
brackets, reverse this step.

Attach cables to the rear of the server (such as
keyboard, mouse, and monitor cables, if required).
Route the cables to the left corner of the server (as
viewed from the rear) and use the cable straps to
secure the cables to the slide rails.
Before you transport the rack cabinet to another
location with the server installed, you must secure
the server to the rack. If necessary, disconnect the
cables from the rear of the server; then, slide the
server out of the rack 150 mm (6 inches) and insert
the M6 screws in each slide rail. Then, secure the
server to the rack cabinet with the M6 screws.
Ensure the rails are fully extended to the rear of the
rack cabinet and that the shipping brackets are
installed. Go to steps 4, 5, and 6 for instructions.
To remove the server from the rack, reverse these instructions. Store this information with your server
documentation for future use.
