Installing with Holding Rails

The holding rails are for a cabinet with a distance of 610 mm to 914 mm (24.02 in. to 35.98 in.) between the front and rear mounting bars.

When installed on holding rails, the servers cannot be stacked on each other in a cabinet with a depth of 1 m (3.28 ft.).

If holding rails are used and the cable management arm (CMA) is equipped, the server cannot be installed in a cabinet with a depth of 1 m (3.28 ft.).

1. Install the holding rails.
   1. Hold down the ejector release button on the front end of a holding rail and pull out the hook. See (1) and (2) in Figure 5-10.

   2. Insert the positioning pins on the rear of the rail into the square holes in the cabinet. See (3) in Figure 5-10.
   3. Align the front with a square hole, and push the holding rail forward until it snaps into place. See (4) in Figure 5-10.
   4. Push the hook backwards so that its metal sheet touches the mounting bar. See (5) in Figure 5-10.
   5. (Optional) Install an M6 screw in the third square hole at the rear of the holding rail to secure it. See (6) in Figure 5-10.
   6. Install the other holding rail in the same way.

2. Install the server.
   1. Pull out the inner rails as far as they will go. See Figure 5-11.

   2. Align the screws on the server with the notches on the inner guide rails, push the server inwards until you hear a sound, and ensure that the latches eject and completely block the screws to affix the server to the inner guide rails. See Figure 5-12.

   3. Press the release buttons on both sides and push the server into the cabinet along the holding rails. See Figure 5-13.

   4. (Optional) Tighten the captive screws on the mounting ears to secure the server. See Figure 5-14.

3. Install the CMA.
   1. Insert the support lever into both left and right outer rails. See (1) in Figure 5-15.

   2. Insert the nail heads on the outer left rail into the holes in the outer support lever of the CMA, and pull the CMA out to secure it. See (2) in Figure 5-15.
   3. Do the same for the nail heads on the inner left rail and the inner support lever. See (3) Figure 5-15.

4. Connect a network cable, a VGA cable, or USB devices as required.
5. Connect the power cables and power on the server.
