Installing the expandable rails and extension bracket into the rack
You might need to install rails into the rack. Use the procedure
in this section to perform this task.
Attention: Installing the rails in the
rack is a complex procedure. To install the rails correctly, you must perform
each task in the following order. Failure to do so might cause rail failure
and potential danger to yourself and the system unit.
To
install the expandable rails and extension bracket into the rack, complete
the following steps:
Loosen the two screws B in the middle of
both rails A to allow each rail to extend.
Figure 1. Extending the system rails.
Starting at the back of the rack, extend the left rail and insert
the rail pins C into the marked locations the rack
so that it is facing upward (L shape).
Tip: Although
the rail installation can be completed by one person, for ease of installation,
one person can be positioned at the front of the rack and one person at the
back of the rack.
From the back of the rack, extend the right rail and insert the
rail pins C into the marked locations.
Move to the front of the rack, extend the left rail and insert
the rail pins C into the marked locations.
Extend the right rail and insert the rail pins C into
the marked locations.
Using one M5 screw D, secure the left rail
to the front of rack into the lower location E.
Important: Do not install a screw in the top location at
this time. It will secure the shell to the assembly.
