Figure 4-8. Replacing the server rail in the bracket rail

Repeat Steps 5 through 9 with the other bracket rail and rack mounting
bracket. You now have a pair of mounting bracket slide assemblies to be
attached to the rack.
Using the Rack Template
WARNING:
To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the equipment,
be sure the rack leveling feet are extended to the floor and support the full
weight of the rack. Each rack must be level and stable. Racks that are not
coupled together require the installation of stabilizers. This must be done before
you perform any work on the rack. View the Rack Video Training CD for more
information on leveling feet and stabilizers.
Marking Fastener Positions on the Rack with
the Template
The rack template provided with your server offers an easy and reliable way to
properly position it in the rack. Using the template, you can identify the proper
attachment points for the rack mounting bracket assemblies, the cage nuts for
the faceplate thumb screws, and the top of the server. Use the tick marks on
the rack side rails to ensure level installation. Refer to the illustrations and
instructions printed on the template.
IMPORTANT:
Determine the server's place in the rack before you start installing the
mounting bracket assemblies. For proper placement of the server in the rack, refer to the
Rack Builder report you printed when you planned your rack configuration. Always mount
the heaviest item on the bottom of the rack and work from the bottom up.
