normal position. Secondly, these tabs also lock the server in place when fully extended from
the rack. This prevents the server from coming completely out of the rack when you pull it
out for servicing.

2.3 Installing the Rails
There are a variety of rack units on the market, which may require a slightly different assembly
procedure.
The following is a basic guideline for installing the system into a rack with the rack mounting
hardware provided. You should also refer to the installation instructions that came with the

Installing the Inner Rails
Both the left and right side inner rails have been pre-attached to the chassis. Proceed to the
next step.
Warning: do not pick up the server with the front handles. They are designed to pull
the system from a rack only.
