Preparing the Rack Enclosure

•  Two slide bracket assemblies
•  Two slide rails (fitted to system unit)
•  One cable-management arm
•  Ten long screws (M6 by 16 mm)
•  Ten cage nuts
•  Installation template

NOTE: This procedure requires two people.

To attach the mounting hardware to the rack enclosure:

1.  Mark the positions of the slide brackets on the mounting rails on the rack enclosure.
   1.  Position the template on the front mounting rail on the rack enclosure, aligning the holes.  Secure the template in place with tape.
   2.  Mark the holes for the slide brackets and cage nuts. If you prefer, mark all the cage nut  positions on the rack at this time.
   3.  Carefully remove the tape from the mounting rails, and attach the template to the rear  mounting rails. Mark the locations for the slide brackets and cage nuts.

      NOTE:

      1.  You must align the slide brackets correctly, or the installation cannot be completed.
      2.  The slide rails have four screws each to allow for length adjustment.

2.  Install the cage nuts in the marked positions as shown.
    
   
3.  Attach the slide rail to the left side of the rack enclosure.
   1.  Extend the outer slide rail until the slide bracket is flush against the outside of the left front  mounting rail. Align the slide rail with the cage nuts on the mounting rail.
   2.  From the front of the rack enclosure, insert two long screws through the slide bracket and  mounting rail. Press the slide bracket until it is flush with the outer edge of the mounting rail,  then, tighten the screws.
       
      
   3.  Attach the slide bracket to the left rear side of the rack enclosure.
      1.  Align the holes on the slide bracket with the cage nuts on the rear mounting rail.
          
         
      2.  From the rear of the rack enclosure, insert two long screws through the slide bracket  and mounting rail, then, tighten the screws.
      3.  If it was necessary to adjust the length of the slide rails, tighten the nuts on the slide  rail, using pliers, a socket wrench, or an adjustable wrench.

4.  Attach the slide rail to the right side of the rack enclosure.
   1.  Extend the outer slide rail until the slide bracket is flush against the outside of the right front  mounting rail. Align the slide bracket with the cage nuts on the mounting rail.
   2.  From the front of the rack enclosure, insert two long screws through the slide bracket and  mounting rail. Press the slide rail so that it is flush with the outer edge of the mounting rail and  tighten the screws.
       
      
   3.  Attach the slide bracket to the right rear of the rack enclosure.
      
      1.  Align the holes on the bracket with the cage nuts on the rear mounting rail.
      2.  From the rear of the rack enclosure, insert a long screw through holes in the slide  bracket and mounting rail, then, tighten the screws.
      3.  If it was necessary to adjust the length of the slide rails, tighten the nuts on the slide  rail, using pliers, a socket wrench, or an adjustable wrench.
          
         

5.  Attach the cable-management arm to the right rear of the rack enclosure.
   1.  Align the holes on the cable-management arm mounting panel with the cage nuts on the rear  mounting rail.
       
      
   2.  From the rear of the rack enclosure, insert a long screw through the holes in the  cable-management arm mounting panel and cage nut, then, tighten the screws.

1.  You can choose to wait to attach the cable-management arm to the rack  until after you have attached the other end of the cable-management arm to the server.
2.  To facilitate alignment of the cable-management arm, be sure to insert the screws  through the first and fourth holes, as shown.
