Chapter 3 Installing the Server Into a Rack With Slide-Rails 53
Checking Rack Compatibility
Check that your rack is compatible with the slide-rail and cable management arm
(CMA) options. The optional slide-rails are compatible with a wide range of
equipment racks that meet the following standards.
Caution – Always load equipment into a rack from the bottom up so that it will not
become top-heavy and tip over. Deploy your rack’s anti-tip bar to prevent the rack
from tipping during equipment installation.
