3. Begin with the hole identified by the mark (A); count up one hole and place a second mark (B). Mark
the rack so the mark can also be seen from the rear of the rack, as shown in Figure 2.
4. Repeat the last two steps on the left side of the rack.
5. Facing the back of the rack and working from the right side, locate the bottom EIA unit that your
expansion unit uses. Make a mark next to the bottom hole of this EIA unit (A).
6. Begin with the hole identified by the mark (A); count up one hole and place a second mark (B),as
shown in Figure 2.
7. Begin with the hole identified by the mark (B); count up one hole and place a third mark (C),as
shown in Figure 2.

Attaching the 8202-E4B or 8205-E6B mounting hardware to the rack
You might need to attach the mounting hardware to the rack. Use the procedure in this section to
perform this task. The information provided is intended to promote safety and reliable operation. This
section also includes illustrations of the related hardware components and shows how these components
relate to each other.
Attention: To avoid rail failure and potential danger to yourself and to the unit, ensure that you have
the correct rails and fittings for your rack. If your rack has square support flange holes or screw-thread
support flange holes, ensure that the rails and fittings match the support flange holes used on your rack.
Do not install mismatched hardware using washers or spacers. If you do not have the correct rails and
fittings for your rack, contact your IBM reseller. Also, to install the rails correctly, perform each task in
the following order.
Note: If your rails were shipped with a screw installed on the rear of each rail, remove the screw on each
rail before proceeding.
To install the rack-mounting hardware into the rack, complete the following steps:
1. Each slide rail is marked with either an R (right) or an L (left). Select one of the slide rails and push
up on the front movable tab (1) in Figure 3 on page 14; then, pull out the front latch (2) to slide out
the front side rail. If a thumbscrew is installed in the slide rail (3), remove it.
