    Rack Installation Guide

    Rail kit item list


    This rail kit is for tower servers and 2U, four node enclosures. Each rail kit includes the following parts:

    1 One left rail

    2 One right rail

    Note: See the text on the front end of the rail to identify if it is the left or right rail.

    1
    Install the rails to the rack
    Note: For tower server installation, apply the latch and rail covers to the rails before rack installation. For
    cover installation and other tower to rack conversion kit instructions, refer to the Setup Guide for your tower
    server.

    Step 1. Grab the rear end of one rail and compress it to the minimal length.

    Figure 1. Compressing rail

    Step 2. Align the posts, that are extending from the rear end of the rail, to the holes in the rear EIA flanges;
    then, push the rail until the latch clicks into place around the edge of the EIA flange.

    Step 3. Install the front end of the rail.

    Figure 3. Installing front end of rail

    a. Pull the rail towards the front.


    b. Press and hold the blue button to open the front latch.
    c. Align the pins on the front end of the rail to the holes in the front EIA flange and pull the rail
    forward; then, release the blue button so the latch catches over the EIA flange.

    Note: To make sure the rails are secured to square hole racks, examine the pins to see if the
    collars are fully in the mounting flange holes. If not, gently shake the rails until all the collars are
    visible in the mounting flange holes. Examine both ends to make sure the rails are secured.

    Step 4. Repeat the previous three steps on the other rail.

    Install the server into the rails
    Step 1. For 2U, four node enclosure; reduce the weight by removing all the nodes, power supply units,
    fans, and SMM from the enclosure.

    Step 2. Align and place the enclosure or chassis onto the rails; then, slide it into the rack along the rails.

    fans, and SMM from the enclosure.
    Step 2. Loosen the captive screws.
    Step 3. Slightly pull the enclosure or chassis out of the rack; then, carefully remove it from the rails gripping
    the server at sides and adjusting hands as needed.

    CAUTION:
    Drop hazard.

    Remove the rails from the rack
    Step 1. Press and hold the blue button on the front end of the rail to release the front latch gripping the rack
    flange; then, slightly push the rail towards the rear until the pins disengage from the holes in the EIA
    flange.

    Step 2. Hold the rail with one hand and pull the rear latch with your other hand to release the rail from the
    rear mounting flange; then, remove the rail from the rack.

    Note: Move to the back of the rack cabinet for easier access to the rear latch.
