Warning
To prevent bodily injury when mounting or servicing this unit in a rack, you must take special
precautions to ensure that the system remains stable. The following guidelines are provided to ensure
your safety:
This unit should be mounted at the bottom of the rack if it is the only unit in the rack.
When mounting this unit in a partially filled rack, load the rack from the bottom to the top with the
heaviest component at the bottom of the rack.
If the rack is provided with stabilizing devices, install the stabilizers before mounting or servicing the
unit in the rack.

Step 1 Attach the inner rails to the sides of the server:
a) Align an inner rail with one side of the server so that the three keyed slots in the rail align with the three pegs on the
side of the server.
b) Set the keyed slots over the pegs, and then slide the rail toward the front to lock it in place on the pegs. The front slot
has a metal clip that locks over the front peg.
c) Install the second inner rail to the opposite side of the server.
