Locate the Mounting Holes
● Use the Rack Alignment template to locate and mark the holes for the mounting
screws on each vertical rack rail. Allow four rack unit spaces (7.0 inches/17.8 cm)
per server.
To use the Rack Alignment template, complete these steps:
a. Place the Rack Alignment template over the vertical rack rail, with the side
marked for 2-post rack installation facing out.
b. Place the Rack Alignment template in the space where the server will be
installed, lining up the bottom of the Rack Alignment template with the top of
the server below. See next figure.
c. Adjust the Rack Alignment template so that the mounting hole is centered on a
rack rail hole and mark that rail hole.

Install the Mounting Screws
● Install one 10-32 x 1/2 screw on the left and one 10-32 x 1/2 screw on the right
vertical rack rails.
Use the holes you marked in the previous step. Do not fully tighten the screws until
after you install the server. Leave a 0.25-inch (0.64-cm) gap between the head of each
screw and the rack rail.

Install the Server Into the Rack
Caution – Before you install or remove the server from the rack, be sure the rack is
stabilized so that it cannot move or tip forward. See the rack documentation for
information about stabilizing the rack.
Caution – The server is heavy. Two persons are required to move the server.
1. With one person on each side of the server, lift the server and approach the rack
with the back of the server facing the front of the rack.
2. Lift the server up and over the mounting screw on each side of the vertical rack
rail so that the large hole clears the head of the screw.
Slide the server down so that the server rests on the mounting screws.

3. Use six 10-32 screws, two screws and the mounting screw on each side, to secure
the server to the vertical rack rails.

Caution – When installing or removing the server from a populated 2-post rack, be
sure to support the weight of the server, so that you do not damage the component
installed below it in the rack.
1. Slide the server into the open position in the rack.
Allow four rack unit spaces (7.0 inches/17.8 cm) per server.
2. Using a Phillips No. 2 screwdriver, secure the top and bottom screws to the left
and the right vertical rack rails.
