Installing the 8286-42A system into the rack
Learn how to install the 8286-42A system into the rack.
CAUTION:
This
system requires three people to install the system into the rack.
Attention:
- Attach an electrostatic discharge (ESD) wrist strap to the front ESD jack, to the rear ESD jack, or to an unpainted metal surface of your hardware to prevent the electrostatic discharge from damaging your hardware.
- When you use an ESD wrist strap, follow all electrical safety procedures. An ESD wrist strap is used for static control. It does not increase or decrease your risk of receiving electric shock when using or working on electrical equipment.
- If you do not have an ESD wrist strap, just prior to removing the product from ESD packaging and installing or replacing hardware, touch an unpainted metal surface of the system for a minimum of 5 seconds.
Note: If present, remove any shipping guards or brackets from
the system before you attempt to install the system onto the rails.

rack, complete the following steps:- Extend the slide rails forward (1) until
they click twice into place. Carefully lift
the server and tilt it into position over the slide rails so that
the rear nail heads (2) on the server line

Slide the server down until the rear nail heads slip into the two
rear slots. Then, slowly lower the front of the server (4) until
the other nail heads slip into the other slots on the slide rails.
Ensure that the front latch (5) slides over
the nail heads. Figure 1. Extending slide rails and aligning server nail heads with the slots on the rail
