Installing the server
Follow this procedure and the illustrations inside the front cover to install the slide rails and
the server into an equipment rack.
Step 1. Remove the slide rails from the top of the server box and unpack them.
Step 2. At the end of one of the rails marked FRONT, slide the green tab in the direction of
the arrow (A1) until the securing plate is latched in the open position (A2).
Step 3. At the desired height, engage the FRONT mounting pegs in to the front post of the
equipment rack with the rail extending toward the rear (B1). Press the green release
button (B2) to allow the plate to slide forward to secure the front mount (B3).
Step 4. Hold the rear securing latch open (C1) and extend the rail until the rear mounting
pegs engage in the rear rack post at the same height as the front (C2). Release the
rear latch, so that the latch wraps securely around the rear post (C3).
Step 5. Repeat Steps 2 to 4 for the second rail on the other side of the rack. Ensure that you
install the rails at the same height.
Step 6. Pull the inner slide rails from the front of each assembly until they lock in place.
Step 7. Remove the server from its box and remove all packaging.
Step 8. Point the rear of the server toward the front of the rack and align the prefitted rails
with the extended slide rails.
Step 9. Push the server in to the rack rails until the server meets the internal stops.
Step 10. Press the plastic release clips marked PUSH on each rail and push the server in to the
rack until the server latches to the front rack‐mount clips.
Step 11. Connect Ethernet Port 1 (and Ethernet Port 2 if required) to the data network.
Step 12. Connect the dedicated management Ethernet interface to the management
network, if required for Lights‐Out Management.
Step 13. Connect a monitor and keyboard using the rear VGA and USB connectors or the
front KVM adapter.
Step 14. Connect the power supplies to the electrical outlets. Do not power on the server at
this time.
