*FIELD ENGINEER INSTRUCTIONS*

PROBLEM OVERVIEW:
Faulty Rail Operation

WHAT STATE SHOULD THE SYSTEM BE IN TO BE READY TO PERFORM THE RESOLUTION ACTIVITY? :

A data backup is not a pre-requisite but is a wise precaution.
The customer should conduct an orderly software system shutdown.

The System should be powered off.
WHAT ACTION DOES THE ENGINEER NEED TO TAKE:

Caution - Before you install or remove the server from the cabinet, be sure the
cabinet is stabilized so that it cannot move or tip forward. See the cabinet
documentation for information about stabilizing the cabinet.

Two people are recommended for this procedure. A space to work on the server needed
after removing system from rack.

Attach the Inner Glides to the Chassis
1. Attach the inner glides to the chassis using four M4 screws for each inner glide.
Position the straight end of each inner glide toward the front of the server. Align the
second hole on the inner glide with the first hole on the chassis.

Install the Slide Assemblies
Be aware of the following guidelines.
Caution - Ensure that you have stabilized the cabinet by extending its anti-tip legs
or bolting the cabinet securely to the floor.
2. Install the slide assemblies into the lowest available position.
3. Install additional servers from the base up in the cabinet.
a. Use the Rack Alignment template to locate and mark mounting holes on the front
vertical rack rails.
b. Adjust the back mounting brackets to accommodate the depth of the rack.

4. Loosen the 8-32 lock nut on each of the back mounting brackets.
5. Adjust the back mounting bracket forward or backward on each slide assembly to
accommodate the depth of the rack. You may find it necessary to remove the nuts
and reposition the brackets to obtain the correct spacing.
6. Partially tighten the lock nuts. Do not fully tighten the lock nuts until after you
attach the slide assemblies to the mounting rails.

7. With the help of an assistant, position one slide assembly on the inside of the
cabinet with the front (short) mounting bracket at the front of the rack.
a. Use the holes you marked in Step 1.
b. Make sure that the slide assembly is level front-to-back.
8. Using two screws for each bracket, attach the front mounting bracket to the front
rail of the cabinet and attach the back (long) mounting bracket to the back rail of the cabinet.
Count the rack rail holes to ensure that you are matching the holes used on the front rail.
To attach the slide assembly, use the appropriate screws for your type of rack:
Racks with mounting holes sized for U.S. dimensions require 10-32 screws.
Racks with mounting holes sized for metric dimensions require M4 or M6 screws.
a. Fully tighten the front bracket screws.
b. Partially tighten the back bracket screws.
Do not fully tighten the screws that attach the back brackets to the rack rails until
after you slide the server into the cabinet.
c. Fully tighten the 8-32 lock nuts on the back mounting bracket.

9. Repeat Step 3 and Step 4 for the other slide assembly.

10. If the depth of the rack is greater than 27.25 inches (69.21 cm), install a
Phillips 8-32 screw and an 8-32 lock nut on each back mounting bracket.
Fully tighten the lock nuts.

11. Make sure that each slide assembly is fully retracted into the cabinet.

Install the Server Into the Cabinet
Caution - Before you install or remove the server from the cabinet, be sure the
cabinet is stabilized so that it cannot move or tip forward. See the cabinet
documentation for information about stabilizing the cabinet.

Caution - The server is heavy. Two persons are required to move the server.

Note - Make sure that each slide assembly is fully retracted into the cabinet and
check that the ball-bearing runner on each slide assembly is all the way forward.
1. With one person on each side of the server, lift the server and approach the
cabinet with the back of the server facing the front of the cabinet.

Note - Do not use the vent holes in the server doors as "handles" to lift the server.

2. Align the rounded ends of the inner glides on the server with the slide assemblies
in the cabinet.
Note - Make sure that the inner glides attached to the server are inserted within the
ball-bearing runners.

3. Holding the server level, slide it evenly into the cabinet until the inner glides stop.

Tip - Slide the server in and out of the cabinet slowly and carefully to ensure that
the slide assemblies are working correctly and are free from obstructions.

4. Press the flat spring catch on each inner glide in order to slide the server the rest
of the way into the cabinet.
5. Fully tighten the screws that attach the back brackets to the back rails.

6. Secure the server to the front rails using four M4, M6, or 10-32 screws, depending
on your cabinet, to attach the brackets to the rack.
WHAT ACTION DOES THE CUSTOMER NEED TO TAKE TO RETURN THE SYSTEM TO AN OPERATIONAL STATE:
Boot system and ensure that full System functionality is achieved.
