Chapter 2      Installing the Server
  Installing the Server Into a Rack
d. Attach the second slide-rail assembly to the opposite side of the rack. Ensure that the two slide-rail 
assemblies are level and at the same height with each other.
e. Pull the inner slide rails on each assembly out toward the rack front until they hit the internal stops 
and lock in place.
Tip You can optionally use the #2 Phillips screws that come with the slide rails to increase stability after 
installation. These screws can be installed on the front attachment bracket on each assembly, but are not 
required.
Step 2 Attach mounting brackets to the server:
a. Set a mounting bracket (item 3) on the side of the server, aligning its keyed holes over the pegs on 
the server (item 2). The plastic installation release clip (item 5) on the bracket should be toward the 
server front. See 
Figure 2-4.
b. Push the mounting bracket toward the server rear until the locking clip clicks over the server peg.
c. Attach the remaining mounting bracket to the opposite side of the server.
Tip You can optionally use the #1 Phillips screws that come with the slide rails to increase stability after 
installation. You can install two of these screws on each side of the server to more permanently attach 
the mounting brackets to each side of the server, but they are not required.

Step 3 Insert the server into the slide rails:
a. Align the mounting brackets that are attached to the server sides with the front of the empty slide 
rails.
b. Push the server into the slide rails until it stops at the internal stops.
c. Push the plastic installation release clip on each mounting bracket toward the server rear (see item 
4 in 
Figure 2-4), and then continue pushing the server into the rack until its front flanges touch the 
rack posts.
